SZNZ: Winter

Product Information

Do you feel that this is your grand finale to the series of EPs? That you delivered on a satisfying conclusion? Dark Enough to See the Stars" is a somewhat depressing number, with WEEZER wondering why God plopped him on Earth. Sans the lyrics, the music is upbeat, making this song a true dichotomy. I'd be glad if people get that sort of reassurance from our story because we all come from broken homes. And I know for me it was super important. Rivers Cuomo described the project's overall emotion as sadness. Cuomo said that the songwriting would be stylistically similar to Elliott Smith featuring "lots of loss and despair". [3] [4] What kind of reaction have you gotten from fans of yours? Sometimes, I think fans get a little too in love with what they liked about you when you started, and maybe don't like it when an artist tries to do new things.

But I'd say in recent years, I've really found a great balance and am feeling more instinctual than ever – at the same time, I have tons of spreadsheets and computer programs that I've written to help me along. I'm firing on all cylinders, for sure.

Track List

I Want a Dog - we’ve all heard this one but it’s still a lovely song. Awesome solo and I love the mix of gentle acoustics and that classic Weezer sound. 8/10 SZNZ: Winter" marks the final EP in the series, arriving on the winter solstice, December 21. With this new season comes what is possibly the strongest EP in the series, featuring a catchy and classic WEEZER sound. I just realized, Rivers, that this is a strictly northern hemisphere kind of record – are our fans in Australia, New Zealand going to be upset?

I actually restrict my access to social media as a consumer. So, it may look like I’m very active on there, but I’m actually not looking at it myself very much at all. Cuomo, Rivers.

We've committed to doing it... and yet we haven't actually done it yet. So it's uh, it'll be a challenge. But everyone knows what we're in for and we're all into it and we want to do it. And hopefully we don't drive our managers too crazy, because it's going to be a ton of work.

Statistics

You’re very active on social media to stay connected to your fans, but it almost seems like social media itself is kind of counter intuitive to the whole Eastern spiritual view, because it’s so busy and conflict-ridden. Do you have any struggles with social media as an artist? On February 24, Cuomo implied that the Summer album would be produced by Daniel "Robopop" Omelio. [21] [22] Omelio previously co-wrote the Weezer song " Hero" from the album Van Weezer. Cuomo has explained that the album may or may not resemble the initial concept. [23] Do you work better that way? You know, announcing something, committing to do it even though you haven't done it yet? Gill, David (December 19, 2022).
