Hérauts de l’alt-rock comme on l’écrit en V.O., les Californiens de Weezer enchaînent les albums comme si de rien n’était - nous en sommes au quatorzième - démontrant depuis une douzaine d’années une vitalité rare dans le milieu. Sous la houlette de leur leader, le compositeur et chanteur Rivers Cuomo, le groupe cultive toujours la même sensibilité nerveuse traversée par une certaine mélancolie, mais perdure grâce à une capacité hors norme d’adaptation à un environnement en perpétuel mouvement, infiltrant YouTube et les nouveaux codes des réseaux comme peu de groupe du même genre arrivent à le faire. Avec également une créativité jamais démentie pour les vidéos accompagnant leurs chansons, Weezer est toujours là, les fans aussi. Cultivant le décalage et l’esthétique rétro depuis ses débuts en 1994, se faisant à l’époque produire par le grand Ric Ocasek (leader des Cars), Weezer n’a pas hésité à faire un album de reprises suintant les eighties en 2019, le Teal Album, balançant au passage une cover du Take On Me de A-Ha réunissant plus de 23 millions d’aficionados sur YouTube… Autre marotte post-moderne de Cuomo : faire un album concept en s’adjoignant un orchestre. S’inspirant aussi bien d’un album de 1970 d’Harry Nilsson reprenant les chansons de Randy Newman (Nilsson Sings Newman) que du monument Pet Sounds des Beach Boys sorti en 1966, voici Weezer en tenue de gala, accompagné d’une armée de trente-huit musiciens. Piano, violons, violoncelles, flûtes… Et dès le premier morceau, All My Favorite Songs, le décor est planté, Rivers Cuomo se fait plaisir et pastiche gaiement les Beatles, voire les Wings de McCartney (par ailleurs les cordes ont été enregistrées aux studios d’Abbey Road). Influence que l’on retrouve avec force sur Playing My Piano et ses envolés vocales sirupeuses. OK Human montre ainsi une nouvelle facette de l’immense talent de Rivers Cuomo, oubliant un instant les guitares saturées pour une pop classique quelque peu crémeuse mais où l’on ne perd jamais l’ironie de son auteur. Ironie jusque dans le titre du disque, OK Human, en clin d’oeil au OK Computer de Radiohead (1997). Constante également de la maison, la durée de cette galette est de trente minutes. Ce OK Human apparait comme une sympathique interlude avant le retour au rock et aux guitares du prochain album, Van Weezer, en hommage à Van Halen, et qui doit arriver quelques semaines seulement après celui-ci... © Yan Céh/Qobuz
