Weezer's New Self-Titled Album, Featuring Wednesday Collaboration, Arrives August 21

Weezer is in their golden era.

Ahead of a North American tour this fall, the band announced Wednesday (June 3) their latest Weezer album, aka The Gold Album. The project — the seventh in their color-coded series of self-titled albums — comes out Aug. 21, marking the 16th studio album since they dropped their debut Weezer (Blue Album) in 1994.

With a 10-song track list, the project includes the just-released song “We Might as Well Be Strangers” (featuring Wednesday) — a duet between Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo and Wednesday’s Karly Hartzman — as well as lead single “Shine Again,” which arrived in April. Produced by Klas Åhlund and Kenneth Blume, formerly known as Kenny Beats, the project is meant to be “the most violent Weezer album ever,” according to a press release. With songs written by three of the band’s four members, for the first time since their first album, original members Cuomo and drummer Pat Wilson co-wrote a song together.

Between their Blue Album debut in 1994 and August’s Gold Album, Weezer has released five other colorful self-titleds: The Green Album (2001), The Red Album (2008), The White Album (2016), The Teal Album (2018) and The Black Album (2019). The Gold Album will mark the band’s first full-length since 2021’s Van Weezer .

Earlier this year, the band announced Weezer: The Gathering tour kicking off in September with 32 stops across North America with support from The Shins and Silversun Pickups. Weezer also has one festival date in Halifax, Nova Scotia, later this month, on June 27.
