Untitled

Hurley is the name of the upcoming eighth studio album by American alternative rock band Weezer. It is set to be released on September 14, 2010 by Epitaph Records.[2] Rivers Cuomo said of the album, "There's definitely going to be more raw rock energy on this one."[4]

The album's cover is a picture of American actor Jorge Garcia, who portrayed Hugo "Hurley" Reyes on the television series Lost from 2004 to 2010.[5] Guitarist Brian Bell has stated publicly that the record was named after clothing company Hurley International, whose bosses he said funded the recording, and not Garcia's Lost character.[6] Bell later claimed that he was mistaken and that the album was in fact named after the Lost character and not the clothing company.[7]

The tracklist was revealed in August of 2010, and the first single from the album is titled "Memories". [3]

Canadian actor Michael Cera has been confirmed to make a guest appearance on the album; singing backing vocals and playing Hurdy gurdy and mandolin on the track "Hang On". [8]
