Pearl Jam guitarist Stone Gossard is doing press these days to promote “United We Stand,” the fifth album from his band Brad; it’s due April 24.

While speaking with Rolling Stone, Goddard was asked how far along Pearl Jam are you with their new record.

“I don't know, it's hard to say,” Stone replied. “We've recorded some songs, and we're going to record and write some more. You never know, it might be that we're a song away or two, or it might be that we're going to record six or seven more songs. I think the main thing is that were not in a rush and there's no urgency to it.”

“The most important thing is that we put something out that continues to expand our boundaries rather than trying to follow what we've done in the past,” continued the guitarist. “I think it's a good time to hopefully continue to experiment, and continue to shake it up. So that people can go ‘Wow, that's kind of weird for Pearl Jam,’ and then 10 years later they can go, ‘Oh, that’s my favorite period.’ Which is always kind of what happens. You try something and at first everybody doesn't necessarily understand it, and then you look back and you go, thank God we tried something new, because it really opened a door up for us to be able to do this and this and this beyond that.”

“This record is refreshingly cool,” says Stone of the Pearl Jam work-in-progress, “because it’s just us in the studio screwing around, not taking it too seriously. I think that’s one of the biggest problems in rock is people thinking too much, putting too much emphasis on getting things perfect or completely sorted out. Sometimes that sound of not having everything sorted out is kind of cool.”

PJ frontman Eddie Vedder is set to perform a 13-city U.S. solo tour in support of his 2011 solo release, “Ukelele Songs” – things kick off in Las Vegas on April 11th and wraps up in Orlando on May 16th.
