WEEZER will release their eleventh album, PACIFIC DAYDREAM on Crush Music/Atlantic Records on October 27th, 2017, which is available for pre-order here.   WEEZER gave fans another peek of what’s to come from the album with MEXICAN FENDER.

 

Frontman Rivers Cuomo brings this decision back to a Chinese proverb he says inspired the design behind the entire record: Once upon a time, I, Chuang Chou, dreamt I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and thither, to all intents and purposes a butterfly. I was conscious only of my happiness as a butterfly, unaware that I was Chou. Soon I awaked, and there I was, veritably myself again. Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly, dreaming I am a man.

 

Pacific Daydream – an album full of the melodic mastery and craftsmanship for which Weezer are known – A record that navigates the uncertainty between reality and dreams, blurring the line between the listener knowing if they are daydreaming the world of the album, or if the world of the album is daydreaming them.  It’s a record about finding the grey area between black and the white, about escaping the everyday into the fantasy of what may be just down the line, but also maybe isn’t. It’s Weezer doing all the things they do best and then some.
