Pacific Daydream arrived in 2017, finding Weezer in a surprisingly sunny, pop-focused mood. The album was conceived as a deliberate counterpoint to the more serious White Album, embracing a California-sound aesthetic.
- The album was produced by TV On The Radio's Dave Sitek, who also produced records for several other artists in 2017.
- Rivers Cuomo has stated that the album was heavily influenced by the Beach Boys and the sounds of Hawaii.
- The lead single "Feels Like Summer" became a notable hit on alternative radio, reaching number 10 on Billboard's Alternative Songs chart.
Weezer is a rock band from Los Angeles, California, known for their distinctive blend of power pop and alternative rock. They broke out in the mid-1990s with a sound that has been both imitated and revered.
