Weathers
Mar 9, 2023
Los Angeles-based trio Weathers release new single "ALL CAPS (f/John The Ghost)" and announce their third album, Are We Having Fun? drops May 5th via Sumerian. They worked on the new album with producer Jason Suwito (Sir Sly, Imagine Dragons).
Frontman Cameron Boyer said, "We jumped at the opportunity to work with producer/singer John O’Callaghan (aka John The Ghost). We are big fans and so working together was a trip. After some time soul searching for what this song would sound like, the end result we landed on has a lot of attitude that we didn’t expect to finish with. One of the biggest obstacles was deciding where John would sing. I felt like most projects like this have the featured artist start singing in the second verse. But for me, while it’s a Weathers song, I wanted to throw listeners off and start with John’s voice. He’s got such a unique tone and I thought it would draw listeners in right off the bat and make them go 'oh shit?' In a good way."
Weathers describes their upcoming release as the next step for the band creatively. The band also dropped a fan track "Where Do I Sign?" from the forthcoming album. "With our new album, we wanted to not try so hard. Instead we wanted to dig deep from our past and pull from music we listened to growing up. In the end, we got a body of work that's a little heavier, more raw, and way more emotional and honest than anything we've done in the past."
Sumerian Records SVP Mike Jakubow shares the band's enthusiasm for the new album: "Weathers is on the verge of making major strides in their career. They have written a brand-new record that is deeply introspective, relatable, and exceedingly catchy. The band combines old and new themes and made it entirely their own. The energy in these songs will make a lasting impact on fans."
"As an A&R in a crowded music space, it is always the greatest pleasure to partner with a group of artists that feels authentic from the beginning," added Sumerian Head Of A&R/Executive Operations Nick Ocean (Walters). "The new album has many colors, both bright and dark. Their music truly pops from the canvas and they deliver something fresh and nostalgic in a unique way. This is just the beginning for Weathers, and we are thrilled to help build upon what they started."
Weathers cycle through vibes at the speed of life. Text messages to cheaters, actual conversations about mental health among friends, and a shared passion for eighties and nineties nostalgia (coming-of-age comedies, in particular) turn into fodder for their undeniable and unforgettable alternative anthems. The band consists of Cameron Boyer [vocals, guitar], Cameron Olsen [guitar] and Brennen Bates [bass].
"It’s meant to be unpredictable,” affirms Boyer. “Since there’s a cohesive sound, you’re essentially living in the same universe, but you’re listening to a bunch of different stories. We dug into how relationships and love can fuck with your head as much as anything else can. We welcomed the changes in our lives, because it was time to evolve—which is also when you should do a new record."
The band initially emerged back in 2015. A year later, they released their breakthrough single "Happy Pills." Weathers has released two albums: Kids In The Night (2018) and Pillows & Therapy (2021).
Weathers begin a tour in support of Meg Myers from April 17th through May 24th.
