I encourage everyone to listen to his 1988 solo album self named “Brian Wilson”. It’s brilliant. Frequently called “Pet Sounds ‘88” since many fans consider it to be a spiritual sequel. The 80s synth dressing might seem off putting at first but the songwriting and musicality of it is just amazing.
Also, give a listen to Smile! - not Smiley Smile, or The Smile Sessions, but the 2004 recreation. It's quite mindblowing. If you close your eyes you can hear it as a true symphony.

And don't you know it was the government stopped the Beach Boys from releasing 'Smile'...."

- andy_xor_andrew 1y agoif we're sharing tunes from lesser-known artists on Bandcamp- the clever timpani line in this track will sound familiar to anyone who has ever heard Pet Sounds :) I thought it was a very appropriate appropriation of a famous Brian Wilson track. https://willyrodriguez.bandcamp.com/track/rosemary https://willyrodriguez.bandcamp.com/track/rosemary (for anyone listening who is not versed in Pet Sounds, it's the famous drum line from "I'm Waiting For the Day")
