Weezer founding member and original bassist Matt Sharp, while working on a series of "lost-albums" from the cutting room floor of his creative life, stumbled upon a curious multi-t rack reel of analog tape containing Weezer's very first studio sessions — the same recordings responsible for earning the band a record contract for their iconic debut Blue album. These newly discovered sessions feature raw, vividly emotional versions of the band's timeless hit songs "Say It Ain't So" and "Undone (The Sweater Song)." Sharp and legendary music producer Joe Chicarrelli took these recordings to Los Angeles' famed East/West Studios, where the Beach Boys created Pet Sounds and Sinatra recorded My Way. What the two men discovered was the original lineup (with guitarist Jason Cropper) in an infectious, explosively joyful, feral form. Honoring the original intention of the music and the traditional technology of the era, the songs were remixed from top to bottom, from tape to vinyl, in a 100% analog process. The result makes up the entirety of the new Weezer album titled "1192" (named after the month and year it was originally recorded.)
