In 2002 Pearl Jam released the album Binaural. The title of the album refers to the recording style they used to produce a unique sound, replicating the way a human takes in sound through our two ears.

To replicate this unique way of recording, microphones are spaced out near the originating sound much like the ears are spaced from each other. This is a simple explanation for what can be an elaborate recoding set-up; binaural recording has been around forever and is used in a variety of ways.

Check out the song “Light Years”, one of my favorite tracks off the album. It’s a slower, more stripped down Pearl Jam than you might be used to, a different avenue for the band but one that I have learned to really appreciate.
