In their latest video for “Grapes of Wrath,” Weezer are on the video conference calls. The track can be found on the band’s 14th studio album, OK Human, which was released in January.
Rivers Cuomo is seen in the Brendan Walter and Jasper Graham-directed clip bemoaning the fact that he has to attend another weekly meeting bound to a computer screen when he has a long list of books he’d rather read. By uploading a picture of himself in front of his computer camera, he opts out. Patrick Wilson, Brian Bell, and Scott Shriner, among his bandmates, soon follow suit. Wilson places a life-size cardboard cutout of himself in the frame, Shriner enlists a body double, and Bell exits with a balloon behind him.
Meanwhile, they spend their time away from the screen doing things like yoga, cooking, gardening, and painting. The new video follows their previously released video for “All My Favorite Songs,” the previous single from OK Human.
Weezer will perform with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and YOLA (Youth Orchestra Los Angeles) on Friday at the Walt Disney Concert Hall, which will be live-streamed.
