WEEZER - SZNZ: Spring [Indie Exclusive Glow-In-The-Dark Vinyl] LP
Limited Indie Exclusive Glow-In-The-Dark Vinyl
Weezer are proud to present one of their most exciting projects to date: SZNZ, a four EP song cycle of sorts. Each EP will offer its own palette of colors, creatures, and emotions to explore. They’re also being created in real time, made in tandem with the season themselves; the band only just finished SZNZ: Spring, and have yet to begin work on SZNZ: Summer, SZNZ: Autumn, and SZNZ: Winter. Once they’ve all been released, however, the EPs will create an incredible collection of some of Weezer’s best songs yet, which is no small feat for a band that never leaves the Zeitgeist.
The four SZNZ EPs each feature a song that interpolates a movement from Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons, which was one of the original source inspirations for the project, along with Pagan myths, religious rituals, magic, Shakespeare, and more. Lyrics juxtapose ancient and modern elements right next to each other in a seamless way that only Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo can make feel relatable and relevant, a lyrical framework he began on 2021’s acclaimed orchestral album OK Human and continues deftly here.
Avid Weezer fans know that classical music, themes, and opera have influenced Rivers before – Madame Butterfly was the overarching inspiration behind the band’s seminal work Pinkerton. Do these compositions sound like opera? No. Do they sound like perfect Weezer rock gems packed with insanely amazing melodies that fans have loved since the band’s inception? Hell yes.
