Description

Pet Sounds is the eleventh studio album by the American rock band the Beach Boys. Released on May 16, 1966. The album was produced by Brian Wilson, who also wrote and composed almost all of its music. Sessions were conducted several months after he had quit touring with the Beach Boys in order to focus his attention on writing and recording. Collaborating with lyricist Tony Asher, Wilson's symphonic arrangements wove elaborate layers of vocal harmonies, coupled with sound effects and unconventional instruments such as bicycle bells, buzzing organs, harpsichords, flutes, Electro-Theremin, dog whistles, trains, Hawaiian-sounding string instruments, Coca-Cola cans and barking dogs, along with the more usual keyboards and guitars. Together, they comprised Wilson's "pet sounds", played in music styles which incorporated elements of jazz, exotica, classical, and the avant-garde. It was led by the singles "Wouldn't It Be Nice", "God Only Knows" and "Sloop John B" while Wilson made his solo debut with "Caroline, No", issued a few months earlier. Due to his omnipresent directorial role, Pet Sounds is sometimes considered a Brian Wilson solo album in all but name. Sleeve is split on spine
