The first video from the album features Stranger Things' Finn Wolfhard and his band Calpurnia, rocking out as a young Rivers Cuomo to A-ha's "Take On Me." While most of the visuals are of a vintage Weezer jam session, some pencil-sketch animation pays homage to the original music video.

Bar soap rarely gets an upgrade, but the Duke Cannon Soap Puck rethinks the format with a compact, palm-sized design built for grip, portability, and longevity. Triple-milled for a denser, longer-lasting bar, it delivers a rich lather while holding up better than typical soaps, making it just as suited for daily showers as it is for gym bags and travel kits. Formulated with natural oils and free of phthalates, it cleans without overcomplicating things, while the rounded puck shape feels deliberate in hand. It's a small shift in form that turns a basic essential into something more considered and durable.
