SZNZ: Spring by Weezer

SZNZ: Spring kicked off Weezer's SZNZ project in 2022, four releases pegged to the seasons, and it landed digitally on March 20, right on the spring equinox. Rivers Cuomo, Patrick Wilson, Brian Bell and Scott Shriner, the lineup that has held since 2001, went back to producers Jake Sinclair and Suzy Shinn, both veterans of the White Album and OK Human, with Ethan Gruska also at the desk.

Billed at first as an EP and later counted as the band's sixteenth album, it trades the crunch for acoustic strums and sunny folk-pop harmonies, as if Weezer's power pop had wandered out into a meadow and decided to stay a while. "A Little Bit of Love" was the lone single. A CD followed later that year, with vinyl arriving in early 2023.
