Weezer followed their most recent LP, 2021’s Van Weezer, with a series of four seasonal EPs, SZNZ: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, in 2022. They were planning to give the series a box set release, which they announced on the first anniversary of Spring in March of 2023, but the updates stop there. The band’s assistant and “unofficial fifth member” Karl Koch has now revealed that the box set isn’t happening. In a post on the Weezerpedia Discord server, he wrote, “ok official word: i just learned the SZNZ box was in fact cancelled, im sorry to confirm. Apparently high cost vs. not expecting enough sales to make it work. Feels kinda like the Broadway cancel thing… just letting SZNS be ‘as is’, and enjoy.”

Explaining it in an Instagram story, they called it a “5 person setup with drums, bass, acoustic & electric guitar, cello, flute, melodica and a bunch of vocal harmonies. The set is about half mind palace music stuff, a track from the EP reimagined in a shreddy prog way, and 3-4 new unreleased songs that’ll be on the next album.” They told the Bowery Ballroom crowd that it was the biggest room they’d played yet, and emphasized that they really wanted it to sound good. It sounded fantastic, with sublime vocal harmonies mingling with gently ornamented folk.
