Pet Sounds

On this episode we look up to the heavens to find one of the most revolutionary albums in pop history: Pet Sounds. It’s the sound of musical genius Brian Wilson stepping away from surfboards to compose symphonies, layering heartbreak, harmony and some of the most inventive production ever pressed to tape. We break down the full story: from the Wilson brothers’ childhood in Hawthorne, CA to the sessions with the Wrecking Crew, from Capitol Records’ doubts to Paul McCartney’s obsession.

Track-by-track breakdowns. Hot takes. Deep-cut trivia (surprised you didn’t know that!). All the categories - Ryan’s A&R guy, Matthew’s headphones moment. And Mike Love gets love?

Come for the Electro-Theremin, stay for the goats on the album cover.
