New Weezer Album, Hurley, Has Jorge Garcia on Cover

Weezer unveiled the title of its eighth album: Hurley, which comes out September 14 on Epitaph records. The album cover: a photo of Lost star Jorge Garcia, who played Hugo "Hurley" Reyes in the six-season series. The first single from Hurley is "Memories", which you can hear via the embed below.

The photo is a detail from a snapshot of Rivers Cuomo and Jorge Garcia, and the album name came after the band had decided on the album cover. Pitchfork calls the album cover "ridiculous", but you be the judge.

Hurley is not a Lost-themed album, though. Weezer fans can download the photo of Cuomo and Garcia to remix as they see fit into their own album art.

I just loved this photo of Jorge Garcia -- it just had this amazing vibe. We didn't want to do a fourth self-titled record and we knew people would refer to it as 'the Hurley record' even if left it without that title, so we just called it 'Hurley.' No words are on the cover because all we wanted was his amazing face."
