SPIN.com has issued the following report from William Goodman:
SOUNDGARDEN fans rejoice: The reunited alt-rock vets are gearing up to start work on their first album in 15 years - and now we have details directly from singer Chris Cornell!
"We start recording in about a week in Seattle," the singer tells SPIN. Cornell also confirms that Adam Kasper, who worked on Soundgarden's last album, 1996's Down On The Upside, will produce.The quartet - Cornell, guitarist Kim Thayil, drummer Matt Cameron, and bassist Ben Shepherd - plan to spend as long as necessary to "make an album that we all really love," says Cornell. "We don't have a schedule," he adds. "It's not like we are going to go into the studio and come out when we're finished with an album."
"We're putting the music first," Cornell explains. "The process of writing, recording, and being creative together is the most important thing, not meeting a deadline."
Cornell explains that the band's sessions will be interrupted by his solo acoustic tour this spring - and some live dates from Soundgarden. "We plan on playing shows for sure - that's never been in question," he says. "Then when we have some time again we'll get back into the studio."
