@EuroNymous this is one of my favorite from the vault, don’t know if you got around it, it’s so obscure we only got a bootleg out of it

so late 70s contrary to the popular belief saying that brians lowest point was post pet sounds, he was doing just fine still writing full albums and producing it, it’s only when sunflower absolutely flopped in 1970 where it opened a severe wound and insecurities, doors to his haunting ghosts.. by the end of the seventies he was an disaster, the guy that you see at the supermarket you don’t want to get close to, nails untrimmed ridiculously long and not taking showers for weeks because he got so paranoid throug his d*** abuse that he thought the devil was gonna come for him thru the shower head, so he stayed in beds just watching tv and having cocaine and hamburgers from morning to late night

it escalated so bad that the boys couldn’t get a original new song from him, all he would do is jam on the piano this fixation he had with shortenin beard song.. he would play that at parties when other superstars got to meet him for the first time such as iggy pop or what not leaving some terrible stories for them to tell in the media ...

so in 1981 (just about two years before dennis tragic passing.. ) dennis found a way to get brian creative again, he made a deal that would get brian to come to rehearsal with him to play some music, just to get brian out of the bed really, at this point he was at his worse physically he had ever been:

and what was the deal you may wonder??
get brian in a studio with the promise of cocaine and hamburgers in return..

but it worked, as dark as it is, and out of this came out this beautiful song, listen closely to the lyrics heartbreaking lyrics, true lyrics a sos bottle sent to the ocean of whoever is willing to hear his pain...

mm if you want pet sounds but 10x times more conceptual and on lsd go onto smile, the peak of the mountain of all high music

if you want something more close to pet sounds id say go for today! it’s the most proto pet sounds, where it starts to get introverted and more structured in composition the way it gets on pet sounds and it’s arrangement etc, the seeds are there

if you want something more light and easy on the first listen go listen to sunflower 🌻 🤗

EXPEDITIOUSLY

very spring mood album, super wholesome and innocent

then maybe some post pet sounds sixties still like friends should be easy to appreciate or wild honey the r’n’b infused

if you like the sunflower prod better and songs from others band members go onto surfs up, it’s usually the classic often out behind pet sounds, rightfully praised, more dark and 70s, folk influenced

if you like that direction better go further into the 70s it followed that direction and line up, see holland and so tough

all around great stuff, these should give you good options and come out with a good idea or impression, at least where to dig next!

sorry hopefully i didn’t overwhelmed you lol

here’s a great song from surfs up you’ll like, aged like wine in 2020 and inspired the last fleet foxes album

the title track pet sounds was intended for james bond as it was originally named run james run

it was turned down

the crime of a century

if it would’ve went through, here’s a montage of the song over the credits of the next james bond that came after pet sounds

or alternative possibility, since the visuals might not fit according to the song - here is a montage with pet sounds used over the last james bond that was released before pet sounds
