Ett pressmeddelande p\u00e5 engelsk ber\u00e4ttar mer:
\nInnovative rockers Weezer have inked a deal with leading independent label Epitaph Records signaling the next phase of their acclaimed career and the return to their indie roots with a highly personal and sonically exploratory album guaranteed to delight their fans.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo far we’ve had a really good creative collaboration with Brett Gurewitz and the other people at the label, and I’m looking forward to collaboration with other like-minded alternative music fans at the label,\u201d Rivers Cuomo recently shared with Los Angeles Times.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been a fan of Weezer from the beginning, and I\u2019ve loved all their records,\u201d says Epitaph president and founder Gurewitz. \u201cSo it\u2019s amazing to find myself working with them on the new one!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWeezer is a great band,\u201d adds labelmate and Rancid frontman Tim Armstrong. \u201cI\u2019m stoked they\u2019re going to be part of the Epitaph family.\u201d<\/p>\n

Produced by Cuomo and Shawn Everett (Raditude, Phantom Planet, Ozomatli), Hurley is a high-energy rock album that wastes no time with the first single \u201cMemories,\u201d an impassioned look at nostalgia with fast tempo, buzzing guitar riffs and killer hooky chorus. Subsequent songs include soon to be fan favorites \u201cRuling Me,\u201d \u201cTrainwrecks,\u201d \u201cHang On\u201d and \u201cBrave New World.\u201d Rivers picks up the acoustic guitar on the reinvented power ballad \u201cUnspoken\u201d and the raw Sixties influenced, Mac Davis co-written \u201cTime Flies.\u201d The classic Weezer sound is reignited with songs like \u201cSmart Girls,\u201d \u201cRun Away\u201d and the quirky \u201cWhere\u2019s My Sex?\u201d Fueled by a newfound sense of independence, Hurley finds the band making some of the most powerful and adventuresome music of their storied career.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe all felt that the really intense, raw emotional side of Weezer is what’s going to make everyone the happiest at this moment,\u201d Cuomo told Los Angeles Times.<\/p>\n

\u201cWeezer’s become a totally kick ass live band, and when we were making Hurley you could just hear the sound of people going into the studio, pressing ’Record’ and rocking,” Cuomo says. ”There\u2019s just an insane amount of energy on songs like \u2018Where’s My Sex’ or ’Memories.'” (SPIN.com) Known for their quirky album artwork, Weezer have done it yet again. The cover features a simple, yet astonishing close-up of actor Jorge Garcia, which fans of the \u201cLost\u201d series will no-doubt find as perplexing as fascinating.<\/p>\n

”We struggled super hard trying to come up with an album title, trying to find some kind of phrase that summed up the whole aesthetic behind the album: ’Heavy Mental,’ ’Smaller Than Life,'” Cuomo recently told Spinner.com. ”I was coming up with all kinds of stuff, but ultimately, we just went with some random word that doesn’t really have anything to do with anything. I just loved this photo of Jorge Garcia — it just had this amazing vibe. We didn’t want to do a fourth self-titled record and we knew people would refer to it as ’the Hurley record’ even if left it without that title, so we just called it ’Hurley.’ No words are on the cover because all we wanted was his amazing face.”<\/p>\n
