Weezer has a new album on the way, but that’s not stopping them from promoting a song that came out over a year ago. “California Snow” just got a new quirky music video, starring Pitch Perfect actor Adam DeVine.
This may seem like a strange marketing strategy, but there’s actually a perfectly reasonable explanation – this song will be featured in indie movie Spell, which is set to arrive in select theaters and on-demand services on November 19th.
This film about an illustrator who goes on a soul-searching journey in Iceland after the sudden death of his fiancée is a feature debut of Brendan Walter, who was in charge of directing Weezer’s music videos for “Africa” and “Feels Like Summer”.
Spell stars Brendan Walter, who also appears in the music video for “California Snow” alongside Adam DeVine. They play an eccentric therapist and his confused patient, who can be seen lip-syncing to the lyrics of this catchy track.
“California Snow” was featured on band’s last album Weezer (Black Album), which came out this spring, but their next record Van Weezer is already set to be released on May 15th, 2020.
