Featured song: "Pacific Sunset"
"Pacific Sunset" (originally titled "Vehement Uprising") is a demo by Rivers Cuomo. Several demos were released as part of the digital compilations Alone XI: The EWBAITE Years and Alone XII: The White Year. Sections of the song later became part of the Weezer track "Run, Raven, Run."
"Pacific Sunset" was originally written in 2015 in contention for Weezer's (White Album), alongside a variation titled "Spirit Animal". Demos of the song were released in 2020 as part of the compilations Alone XI: The EWBAITE Years and Alone XII: The White Year. On December 10, 2020, the project files for the song, for use with the music software Ableton, were made available as the first "Master Sessions" to be sold on the demo storefront on riverscuomo.com.
According to Rivers Cuomo, "Pacific Sunset" was later demoed for the Weezer album OK Human. The song was possibly briefly a contender for Weezer's SZNZ series of EPs, though Cuomo confirmed on April 29, 2021 that the song was no longer in contention, instead, he was interested in repurposing the song's bridge. The bridge (as well as the song's climax and final chorus) were ultimately appropriated as the bridge and climax of the SZNZ: Autumn track "Run, Raven, Run."
