Throughout last year, Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo was busy at the piano, writing what would eventually become this surprise new album. Taking inspiration from the Beach Boys‘ Pet Sounds, Weezer, along with a 38 piece orchestra, used analogue technology to record even more new music. As a result, Weezer created OK Human, a 12-track album with a title that’s a cheeky nod to Radiohead‘s OK Computer, but sounds nothing like it.

Now, Weezer are giving fans the first taste of the new album with “All My Favorite Songs.” The orchestral new single features sonic elements longtime Weezer fans will instantly recognize. For the track’s video, Weezer are tackling technology in a big way. While we remained isolated in our homes last year, we became more dependent on technology than ever before.

As a result, many of us fail to notice the side effects technology can cause. Although our phones and computers help us stay connected, technology can also cause us to miss out on the moments that are right in front of us. The “All My Favorite Songs” video depicts just that.

Along with OK Human, Van Weezer is still slated to arrive on May 7th. Last year, Weezer shared a few glimpses into the upcoming album. Following the debut of “The End Of The Game,” Weezer paid tribute to essential workers with the single “Hero.”
