Weezer have been teasing a new album. On April 1, the band returned with their first single in four years, ‘Shine Again’, though details of the LP have yet to be announced. Here’s everything we know so far.
What’s the title of the album?
We don’t know yet. We do, however, know that Weezer will support it with a tour dubbed “Weezer: The Gathering.” The Shins and Silversun Pickups will join them on the 32-date arena trek.
Who produced the album?
Kenneth Blume, fka Kenny Beats, helmed the record. The producer discussed the sessions in a Discord Q&A, saying, “Every single song on the record was started all together, in the room at the same time, no tempo references. No matter what the tracklist ends up being.”
Klas Åhlund, who recently contributed to Robyn’s latest album, co-produced the album with Blume. They talked about “tones from Desert rock bands like Kyuss .. kind of like stoner metal tones,” Blume said. “Nothing to do with the writing, just as references sonically.”
What was the recording process like?
The band started rehearsals for the album in Europe through the summer of 2025. Rivers Cuomo kept fans up to date on Discord, noting that the first batch of songs were done before mid-December. The album was reportedly completed in February 2026. We also know that Cuomo met Cameron Winter, whose band Geese worked with Blume on Getting Killed, during the sessions. “I joked that rivers passed the test and he could join geese now and he immediately just said ‘…….geezer?'” Blume recalled.
Which label will release the album?
The new album will be Weezer’s first under Reprise Records instead of Atlantic Records.
