For anyone keeping score at home: 2020 was going to be the year of Van Weezer -- the big riffs rock album Weezer made as an homage to the metal bands they loved growing up -- until, thanks to the global pandemic, it suddenly wasn't.
The entire time, however, Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo was busy at the piano, writing a very different album that took inspiration from another vital musical touchstone of his youth: The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds. Throughout the summer of Covid-19, he and the band -- along with a 38 piece orchestra -- chipped away at masked recording sessions using all analogue technology until the record was complete. The result is an album called OK Human -- a cheeky nod to Radiohead's technophobic future-trip OK Computer, but sounding nothing at all like that record.
It is the first time Weezer have ever featured full orchestration on any of their records. The string and horn arrangements were handled by album producer Jake Sinclair and arranger Rob Mathes.
Weezer will be touring this summer, health regulations permitting, as part of the rescheduled Hella Mega tour alongside Green Day and Fall Out Boy; all tour dates are below.
The band consists of Brian Bell (backing vocals, guitar), Rivers Cuomo (vocals, guitar, piano), Scott Shriner (backing vocals, bass), and Pat Wilson (drums).
