Weezer<\/a> have yet another self-titled album on the way, and this time, it\u2019s gold. Their first LP since 2021\u2019s Van Weezer<\/a> and OK Human<\/a>\u2014as well as the subsequent Sznz<\/a> EP series<\/a>\u2014arrives August 21 via Reprise\/Warner<\/a>.

The Gold Album (no relation to the ABBA classic<\/a>) was produced by Klas \u00c5hlund and Kenneth Blume, the producer formerly known as Kenny Beats, who says in a press release that he wanted to make \u201cthe most violent Weezer album ever.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Back in March, Weezer announced a tour that we now know to be pegged to the album. Weezer: The Gathering<\/a> kicks off in September, with support from the Shins and Silversun Pickups. The Gold Album follows the band\u2019s long-running color concept that comprises, in reverse-chronological order, Black, Teal, White, Red, Green, and a debut that is now preserved<\/a> in the Library of Congress\u2019 National Recording Registry: The Blue Album<\/a>.<\/p>\n
