Blue Album-ish, but a little more riffy. The working title is Van Weezer. The inspiration came from our live shows, where, in the middle of \u2018Beverly Hills,\u2019 unlike on the album, everything stops and I just break out with this crazy guitar solo. We noticed that, recently, the crowd just goes crazy when I do that. So it feels like maybe the audience is ready for some shredding again.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Van Weezer is in mortal combat with Okay Human, a record that\u2019s mostly done. That one\u2019s totally different. It\u2019s inspired by an album from 1970 called\u00a0Nilsson Sings Newman. It\u2019s all piano-based, but it has a ton of orchestration. We just did the strings at Abbey Road. It\u2019s just gorgeous melodies and extremely eccentric lyrics.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>So there you have it &#8211; &#8216;Van Weezer&#8217; and &#8216;Okay Human&#8217; are coming soon!<\/p>\n<p>The band have already surprise dropped a full covers album this year called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rocksound.tv\/news\/read\/weezersurprise-covers-album-teal\">&#8216;The Teal Album&#8217;<\/a> featuring their version of the Toto classic &#8216;Africa&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Weezer will also play London&#8217;s Brixton Academy on June 29th as part of their European tour.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/DshvWcdU0AENeJV.jpg:large\"\/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rocksound.tv\/news\/read\/weezer-new-album-van-weezer-okay-human\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Rock Sound News<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Even more Weezer is coming very soon&#8230; Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo has revealed that the band are currently working on two new albums.
