Weezer said a new album’s on the way, and they’re showing us a sneak peek of the forthcoming project. The single’s called “All My Favorite Songs,” and the new album’s titled OK Human.
This will be Weezer’s 14th studio album. It’ll be their first since their self-titled album, aka Black Album, from 2019. The upcoming LP definitely comes as a surprise considering that they’ll be releasing another album, Van Weezer, in May 2021. The band tweeted about the creation of OK Human and the inspiration behind using instruments that connected them to the past.
“During the summer of COVID-19 we grabbed our masks, hit the studio & began to chip away at what is now known as OK Human. An album that was made by a handful of humans using only analog technologies (including a 38 piece orchestra) for all of you humans to consume.” No loops, hi-tech sounds, or even electric guitar were used for the group’s surprise album.
OK Human was made at a time when humans-playing-instruments was a thing of the past. All we could do is look back on ancient times when humans really mattered and when the dark tech-takeover fantasy didn’t exist.

A press release revealed that OK Human is inspired by The Beach Boys’ 11th studio album Pet Sounds. The new album is due out January 29. Along with the album’s first single is a new music video, which you can watch below.
