Demo by Rivers Cuomo
Released 2020 (partially released)
Recorded 1990-1992

The Yeastmaster is a cassette compilation by Rivers Cuomo, featuring demos recorded from 1990 through 1992. The compilation was partially released as a part of the digital compilations Alone V: Before Weezer and Patrick & Rivers in 2020.

Overview

The Yeastmaster is a demo consisting of Yeastmaster parts 1 and 2. Yeastmaster Part 1 was first mentioned by name by Karl Koch in the Recording History.[1] Songs from Yeastmaster Part 2 are named by Koch,[2] however their inclusion on the demo was not stated. Both demos were included on the 2020 compilations Alone V: Before Weezer and Patrick & Rivers.

These songs feature a focus on songwriting, something Cuomo's previous tapes were not entirely focused on. This resulted in songs that Karl Koch described as "either somewhat bitter or really goofy."[1] And while there is a focus on songwriting, there are also several things that Karl described as "not-really songs".[1]
