Now Hear This… Weezer “Memories”

Weezer’s new album Hurley is a return to the garage band jam rock n’ roll.  River’s Cuomo gave an interview about the upcoming album to Spin magazine recently where he says of the record, “Weezer’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. There’s just an insane amount of energy on songs like “Where’s My Sex” or “Memories,” and also even in the more intimate songs like “Run Away” — lots of loose moments, out of tune moments, but tons of emotional expression. In fact, in some cases, my low-fi demos from home had the right feeling to them, so I just took my vocal track from them and put the rest of the song to that.”  Sounds promising.  Look for the album out September 14th.  Check out the first single “Memories” below.
