Weezer gave us a dream synth driven album ‘Pacific Daydream’ in October, well Rivers Cuomo and the boys are going to pretty productive with another new album ‘the Black Album’ in May. Yes, this band hustles they also had a power-pop West Coast themed ‘White Album’ in 2016. Yes, we know technically the Weez has had self titled  albums in the past including their classic color tinged albums, but we know it’s about  color in the titles.

While chatting with Australia radio presenter Zane Rowe , Cuomo on how this ‘Black Album’ was originally meant to follow the ‘White’ album but how the songs for ‘Pacific Daydream’ including the hits ‘Happy Hour’ and ‘Feels like Summer

materialized since.”We just weren’t quite ready [to release The Black Album] and this other album kind of materialized,” Cuomo said. “I had two folders on my Dropbox: one was ‘The Black Album’, and it didn’t get filled as quickly as this other folder, which I temporarily titled ‘New Folder.’ That one filled up with 10 songs that were definitely different, but not quite as different as the ‘Black Album.’ So we put a name on it—Pacific Daydream—and put that out first.” In the interview, Cuomo states the album will be “darker” and will be out on May 25th.
