Weezer - Pacific Daydream

Pacific Daydream is the eleventh studio album by American alternative rock band Weezer, released in October 2017 via Atlantic Records and Crush Music.

Weezer is an American rock band formed in Los Angeles, California, in 1992, and since 2001, the band has consisted of Rivers Cuomo (lead vocals, lead guitar, keyboards), Patrick Wilson (drums), Brian Bell (guitar, backing vocals, keyboards), and Scott Shriner (bass, backing vocals).

Soon after the release of the White Album, Cuomo discussed plans for Weezer's next album, provisionally titled the "Black Album'. Cuomo said the album would tackle “more mature topics” and be “less summer day and more winter night”, and suggested the band could return to the recording studio as soon as October 2016. Weezer delayed recording after Cuomo felt his new material was more "like reveries from a beach at the end of the world [... as if] the Beach Boys and the Clash fell in love by the ocean and had one hell of an amazing baby".

In March 2017, Weezer released a new song, "Feels Like Summer", the lead single of the upcoming album. The song drew a mixed reaction from fans but became their biggest hit on Alternative radio in a decade (peaking at number 2). In August 2017, Weezer announced their new album Pacific Daydream would be released in October 2017.  In August 2017, the promotional single from the album, "Mexican Fender", was released. The following month, "Beach Boys" was released, and the month after, they released "Weekend Woman" to positive reception.

The album reached #23 on the US Billboard 200, #68 on the UK and #64 on the Australian albums charts.

This album is on black vinyl with a printed inner sleeve and download code, pressed in Europe via Atlantic Records.
