Weezer have shared another track from their upcoming Gold album, with a video full of special guests and nods to yesterday.
The track itself is called ‘C.E.O.’ and finds the band once again in sensational form, dealing out the sort of off-kilter alt-rock that has defined their 30-year journey. Delivered with all the jauntiness you would expect, but with added intensity that three decades on top will lend you, it is a stone-cold banger.
And the video is as meta as it gets, showing the band revisiting the set-up for their classic track ‘Undone (The Sweater Song)’ against their will but encouraged by guest stars Tony Hawk, Curry Barker, Dax Flame, Chit (aka Jay Renshaw), Rob Riggle, Rob Huebel, Michael Peña, Giovanni Ribisi and Christopher Mintz-Plasse. Wow.
Have a watch and a listen for yourself.
It’s set to appear on the band’s upcoming new album ‘Weezer’, or ‘The Gold Album’, which will be yours on August 21 via Reprise/Warner Records.
It will also feature ‘We Might As Well Be Strangers’, which sounds a lot like this:
If that wasn’t enough, the band have also shared new dates for their ‘The Gathering’ tour, adding in new stops in the UK, Europe and Japan with support coming from Taking Back Sunday in the UK and Europe. They join their route around the US, where they will be joined by Silversun Pickups and The Shins.
