Weezer are back with their tenth album and their fourth self-titled LP. “The While Album” follows in the tradition of their “Blue Album,” “Green Album,” and “Red Album.” Weezer will include last year’s “Do You Wanna Get High?” and “Thank God For Girls,” and a new song called “King of The World.” The L.A. rock band also announced a tour in support of the album with Panic! At The Disco and Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness. It kicks off in the end of March in Brooklyn.
This album was inspired by my experiences hanging around the Westside of Los Angeles, which has been our home since Weezer began. Hanging out with people in Venice and Santa Monica, the beach, the Hare Krishnas, the Sikh on roller blades with the guitar, girls on Tinder within a 4 mile radius, seeing other bands, etc. I would just tweet out “does anybody wanna hang?” and then I’d get together with people who responded and talk about life. I love California. I wanted the album to have a Beach Boys sort of vibe to make you feel like you were there with us SoCal weirdos even if you’re in Milwaukee in December.
Weezer will be self-releasing “The White Album” on April 1st. Watch “King Of The World” below and check out the tour dates. The first four dates are album release shows.
