Quebec

Quebec is the eighth studio album by Ween and the first since 2000's "White Pepper" (Elektra). Ween have stayed busy since the last record, releasing 2 live albums thru their website (www.ween.com), composing music for WB's 'Grounded For Life' sitcom, touring sporadically, and getting fired by ad agencies who hired them to make music for TV commercials.

Like most of their catalogue, Quebec was produced by Andrew Weiss and was recorded in a combination of living rooms, garages, and rented vacation houses up and down the east coast. Quebec is a dark, moody, psychedelic. It is the result of about two years worth of recording, therapy, and misuse of pharmaceutical drugs and alcohol. The record was designed so that if someone were to walk in the room and heard it playing at ANY volume they should ask you "what the hell are you listening to?"- and then walk out.

This record is truly great, maybe one of the best records they've made in the last 3 years; it is dark and murky at times, musically intricate and beautiful at other times; and like some of Ween's best music, it is also cheap and over the top as well.
