That's optimistic.

But, really, I have to wait 2 months for the rest of this?

JFC!

Believe it or not, the vinyl industry is still feeling reverberations from the COVID squeeze. The production run-ups necessitate the lead times, unfortunately.

Sonically, “Dark Matter” slots in somewhere between the more tightly wound Pearl Jam of Vs. and the sleek, angry rockers found on later albums such as Binaural. Vedder’s trademark turn-of-phrase is evident during the zig-zagging bridge, where he commands, “No tolerance for intolerance or / no patience left for impatience no more / no love lost for lost loves / no sorrow for the unaccountable.”

Watt encouraged Pearl Jam to write and shape the material with all five members in the same room, and that spontaneous approach is immediately evident on Dark Matter. The album opens with the driving, major-key rocker “Scared of Fear,” with Vedder reminiscing to a subject only he knows, “We used to laugh, we used to sing, we used to crash, we used to believe.” And while arena-ready songs such as “React, Respond” and “Running” find Pearl Jam at their heaviest on an album in some time and “Waiting for Stevie” has an almost Singles-era classic Pearl Jam feel, Dark Matter also dials down the bombast with nods to the chiming, acoustic-flavored sound of the late Tom Petty on “Wreckage” and “Got To Give.” There’s even a song about parenting, “Something Special,” which Vedder said at the Troubadour was co-written with touring member Josh Klinghoffer.

The initial rumor (as reported by the Italians) was that there was a potential double A side (for imminent release). The details were a little off. It was suggested that "Wrecker" was a heavy rocker and "Dark Matter" was an acoustic ballad? Well, clearly those details were a little off but the fact that they were initially rumored to be released together (or in close proximity), coupled with this Easy Street post, leads me to suspect the next single is coming much sooner than expected. I would have bet money that we didn't see anything until March before all of this.

it seems those details weren't "wrong" as much as the wrong way round; "wrecker" is the acoustic ballad
