Weezer's Rivers Cuomo to release solo album

Anodyne pop sap Rivers Cuomo is to branch out from Weezer with the release of a new solo record.

The album, known as Alone - The Home Recordings of River Cuomo, will feature demos from the last 15 years of Cuomo's life.

Released on the 11th of December through Geffen - a Tuesday, so we're guessing US - the record does not by any means signal a tailing off of Cuomo's longterm project.

Weezer's official site reveals that the band are in the process of making a new album, which should be out sometime in the new year.
