Meanwhile, the band confirmed that their previously-announced album Van Weezer is still scheduled to arrive May 7. The band has shared three singles off that record: ‘The End of the Game,’ ‘Hero,’ and ‘Beginning of the End.’

The surprise announcement comes as Weezer fans await the arrival of Van Weezer, the band’s 15th (now 16th) studio album, which was originally due for release in May 2020, but was delayed because of the pandemic. Van Weezer, which is dedicated to Eddie Van Halen, will now be released on May 7 this year.

The revised dates on the Hella Mega Tour are available on the Hella Mega website.

Doe said on Twitter that the album was written in the last 18 months.

“When your heart is broken you think every song is about that. These songs were written in the last 18 months & it blows my mind how timely they are,” the singer and musician said.

“We want all our family, friends & fans to hear our records as soon as it’s finished. This time we could do that,” he said. “Thanks to [our label] Fat Possum & our audience.”

Last year, X reissued their first four albums on vinyl and teamed up with Violent Femmes for a co-headlining tour.

Episode 1, ‘Look Alive,’ can be viewed here.

Episode 2, ‘The Recipe,’ is premiering today with two new songs: the title-track as well as ‘Not Everything Grows,’ can be viewed below.

The studio versions of the songs featured on Look Alive were all recorded at Hello Gorgeous and produced by Rose-Garcia. The title track ‘Look Alive’ was co-written by Finneas O’Connell (Billie Eilish) and Rayland Baxter and co-produced by Shakey Graves drummer and longtime collaborator Chris “Boo” Boosahda.

Of making the series, Rose-Garcia explains, “I made ‘Hello Gorgeous’ without goal—not to create a TV show, not to make music videos, simply to document and create something that meshed all the worlds of my creative life into one. It was an experiment of sorts, trying to peel back that personal veil of secrecy. How many bad takes happen before a good song emerges? If an idea enters a room, can you see it in real time? I was weary of spending hours and months working behind closed doors only to emerge with a handful of carefully crafted songs to then sit on and promote until you can’t stand hearing them, all before anyone in the public had heard a single note. I wanted to create a unified project, a song that was the video, a video that was the story, the story that was the point.”

The songs and subsequent videos were being constructed furiously with no deadline in mind but coincidentally, as soon as production wrapped, the pandemic hit and the shelter at home order began. “I felt stunned, fearful, tingly. Things were changing and all at once I realized that I had been spending all of my creative efforts working on a thing that was suddenly not only viable, but one of the only methods of expression allowed in this current crisis,” Rose-Garcia reflects. “In more ways than I realized, I was ready for a reset. I’m always urging myself to view things differently, everything from global politics to household politics. Right now, the unsustainable aspects of life have never been clearer and I know the world can’t live on song alone. I’m racking my brain to find ways to help where I am, pledging myself to work at the food bank in this time, and trying my best to raise funds for different industries and individuals in need. I feel genuinely honored that there are people in the world who are soothed in any way by me playing a ditty or talking to them through a computer screen and that something that I’ve created from thin air can actually help potentially feed someone, and more than ever it feels like maybe that was always the point. I feel terrified and optimistic at the same time and its not like COVID-19 is the one glaring issue with life as we know it, but in a way it is a crucial reminder that things can and will always change at the drop of a hat, for worse and for better. We are now all trying to wake up each day in the same four walls with a new view of the world. I can share a little bit of my isolation with you, and I hope for the same in return. And with that in mind I welcome whatever terrifying awesome thing comes next. Hello Gorgeous!”
