*Merged* Brian Wilson current album thread

[debonbon]

The wait, it's so long...

[Lowbacca]

I love the colours (yellow & blue), and the overall somewhat sombre yet diffusely lit tone. Motif-wise it's a nice idea as well. Pressure on the stilts and whatnot. (Do you call those 'stilts'? Guess not.. Pales? Poles?)

[Heysaboda]

Here it is.



I think it's rather lovely for an album called No Pier Pressure. 

I am totally loving the cover art too!  WOW!  I think this is gonna be a great one, folks!

[Pretty Funky]

Daria Wilson his daughter? Nice!

[The Cincinnati Kid]

The cover art is pretty nice.


Spring 2015 release, huh?  Love & Mercy has a supposed release date of June 5th, so I guess they will be released at the same time.  I'll still hope for an early spring release, though.

[jeffcdo]

I really like that cover.  Hats off to Daria!!

[Magic Transistor Radio]

I don't have time to read through this whole thread right no, so forgive me if this has been posted. But this quote by Joe Thomas excites me!
 Thomas, comparing the record to That's Why God Made the Radio, stated: "Musically, it has a rougher edge to it. The harmonies are cool, but it’s more akin to the music on Wild Honey and the Carl & the Passions records ... This new material is not a reprise to that album at all; it’s taking it further."

The cover art is pretty nice.


Spring 2014 release, huh?  Love & Mercy has a supposed release date of June 5th, so I guess they will be released at the same time.  I'll still hope for an early spring release, though.

Crazy typing fingers, eh?  Think Spring 2014 has come and gone....

Yeah I do that fairly often when it come to dates.

[Wah Wah Wah Ooooo]

For some reason I wonder if Joe Thomas has ever heard the Wiod Honey or So Tough albums....

Maybe just me.

[Letsgoawayforawhile]

Gahhhh!
I'm so excited!
Brian is the gift that keeps giving.

[Pretty Funky]

A different pier of course but my first reaction was this.

It's a pier.....held up by several pilings, or piles

Pilings.........or poles.   Subject to pressure from tides and shifting sands and currents

[puni puni]

Very cool cover.

[Shady]

Great cover, not cheesy and over the top, just a perfect cover for a Brian Wilson album.

Wow, we are in for a long wait

[NickandthePassions]

Seems to be a very contemporary and modern cover.  Sort of happy it isn't a cheesy sunset or surfboard. I think this will be one of the most emotionally-filled albums from Brian in a while.  I'm just getting that vibe. It's a good vibe, though.

[jmc]

New cover reminds me of the Holland cover...reflection on the water, bit dreary, but in a rainy day kinda way.  I like it!

[pixletwin]

Probably my favorite BW album cover.

No , me too

Yes, a bit hollandish,  May be just the right touch.    Should include a tiny insert of the pensive pic of BW from the holland sleeve/cover......yeah I'm liking this presentation......tantalizing........still hoping its way better than GIOMH.

[Cyncie]

Cool. I'm digging the title. Digging the cover art. Looking forward to spring, but thinking the long winter is going to seem even longer. Sigh.

[BiNNS]

Love the cover. Good God, I just want to hear this damn thing!

[♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇]

I freaking LOVE that cover! Daria did it? Major props to her...by far the best album cover of his solo career, and quite frankly blows away much of the BB's covers too.
