Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready is a couple of weeks away from unleashing his Seattle-scene inspired graphic novel and “lost” rock opera, Farewell to Seasons. To tease the multimedia project, the Pacific Northwest grunge icon has just introduced us to the story’s fictional rocker, David Williams, in a song also titled “Farewell to Seasons.”As previously reported, McCready’s upcoming comic book and album is billed as an “alternative history of Seattle,” and reflects his experiences with the “creativity, community and chaos” of the Emerald City’s underground music scene (which, of course, has also included time with bands like Mad Season, Temple of the Dog and more). The rock opera features new and original songs written and recorded from the perspective of Williams. McCready sings on the album. The title track jangles up a sound that kind of cross-stitches classic Who-style rock operatics with a bit of power-pop jangle, and begins dramatically with Williams waking up “wasted on the floor again.” The lyrics further hints at life, art and hurt. An animated video directed by Cyrus Entezam (System of a Down, Slipknot) includes scenes of a band making their way up through the scene, from birthday parties to clubs filled with punks. Offstage, we see someone drinking at the Irish pub at Pike Place Market, while images of the Space Needle are contrasted with a heroin injection. Eventually, the musician heads to L.A. for a show at the Troubadour. While it had initially been pegged for a September release, Farewell to Seasons will be out December 1st via Z2. A deluxe bundle featuring the hardcover graphic novel and the 11-song LP on exclusive “Poltergeist”-tinted wax is still available to pre-order in Revolver’s shop.
