Weezer recently announced and revealed the first single from their forthcoming, highly anticipated ninth album, Everything Will be Alright In The End.
Since forming in 1992, Weezer has released a myriad of celebrated, chart-topping albums, selling over 13 million records worldwide. Following an intensely prolific couple years at the end of the aughts, the band chose to deliberately dial down the tempo in 2010, a move singer/guitarist Rivers Cuomo says allowed him to write at a slower pace, giving the songs he wanted to use for an album the time to gradually grow into their final forms. When it came time to record the material, Weezer reunited with the man who helped them make some of their most iconic album-length work, Cars frontman Ric Ocasek. The resulting album, Everything Will Be Alright In The End will be released September 30th on Republic Records.
The song, entitled “Back To The Shack,” is a refreshing chunk of alternative rockiness. I am so excited for this album! Watch below and for more information check out their official website.
