After turning all their social media profile photos white, Weezer have confirmed the release of their upcoming fourth self-titled album (10th full-length in all), which will otherwise be known as The White Album.

In November, Rivers Cuomo revealed the band had run out their record contract, and as such, Weezer will self-release the forthcoming LP on April 1. Among the album's 10 songs are the two tracks the band shared at the end of last year: “Thank God for Girls” and “Do You Wanna Get High?” Take a look at the track list and cover art at the bottom of the page.

The album also boasts a cut dubbed “King of the World,” which Weezer premiered in a new SCANTRON-directed video today (Jan. 15). Sure enough, it depicts a grubby-looking king sporting crown, cape and goblet and running down the boardwalk, stealing potato chips and littering, like, a lot. Check it out above.

In a press release, Cuomo said the follow-up to 2014’s Everything Will Be Alright in the End was inspired by the West Coast and the Beach Boys:

The inspiration behind the songs were my experiences hanging around the Westside of Los Angeles, which has been our home since Weezer began. Hanging out with people in Venice and Santa Monica, the beach, the Hare Krishnas, the Sikh on roller blades with the guitar, girls on Tinder within a 4 mile radius, seeing other bands, the kids from La Sera. I would just tweet out "does anybody wanna hang?" and then I'd get together with people who responded and talk about life. I love California. I wanted the album to make you feel like you were there with us SoCal weirdos even if you're in Milwaukee in December.

Obviously my favorite band has always been the Beach Boys, and what I love about them most are the melodies and the chord progressions. I guess the harmonies too. And the orchestration. Can't forget about the lyrics. So basically everything. I wanted to get that kind of vibe: beautiful tunes and sweet lyrics. I also love the dark side of the beach – Venice after dark, hearing at the Del Monte Speakeasy about how the gangsters used to drag the bodies through the catacombs and leave them under the pier.

Weezer have also announced summer tour dates, which will get their stride in mid-June in Texas. They’ll be supported by Panic! at the Disco and Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness for the jaunt; see the complete itinerary below. Weezer are also scheduled to play Jimmy Kimmel Live! this Tuesday, Jan. 19.
