Weezer: SZNZ: Spring LP

Glow in the dark vinyl! Weezer present one of their most exciting projects to date: SZNZ, a four EP song cycle of sorts. Already mythical across the internet, SZNZ will, fittingly, be released at the start of every season. 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. Once they've all been released, 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. SZNZ: Spring, was produced by Jake Sinclair, Ethan Gruska, and Suzy Shinn and features the highly addictive single, "A Little Bit Of Love." 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.
