Weezer have put out a music video for their new single “C.E.O.,” bringing in Tony Hawk, Michael Peña, Rob Riggle and other guest stars, RollingStoneIndia reported. The visual nods back to the group’s own 1994 clip for “Undone (The Sweater Song),” though this time a gold backdrop stands in for the earlier blue one and bees take the place of the dogs. Rivers Cuomo said the track is about a position that never quite squares with being a musician.
Weezer are due to put out their 20th full-length record, titled The Gold Album, on 21 August, and have lined up a run of live dates under the name The Gathering, kicking off in Sacramento on 8 September before the schedule extends across North America and on into Asia and Europe over the following months.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The video is built on self-reference, restaging Weezer’s own 1994 clip for “Undone (The Sweater Song)” with a gold backdrop in place of the blue one and bees in place of the dogs. Rivers Cuomo’s comment ties the song to a role that does not sit comfortably with being an artist, which is the only account of its meaning on the record. Around it sits a release schedule: The Gold Album, the band’s 20th studio album, on 21 August, then The Gathering tour opening in Sacramento on 8 September, North American dates through late October, Japan in February 2027 and Europe in May and June.
