The Smiley Smile Message Board

I just released a new project, a 17-minute psych pop concept album inspired by my struggles with mental illness. Features lots of Beach Boys inspired vocal arrangements throughout. I originally wrote this in the midst of a very bad depressive episode as a way to cope while I was waiting for a psychiatrist appointment back in January. The subsequent lockdown (what a mess this year has been) gave me a lot of time to finish it up and pin down the right vocal arrangements. Hope it's not too out of left field for this forum. My next projects will be much more 60s rock inspired!

Dude...that was freaking brilliant . I’m getting it on payday ; I have S.A.D stuck in my head now. Really enjoyed what you’ve done, especially the ace production 😎

Definitely not too out in left field for me...anybody who’s followed my band for the past 19 years knows how experimental we can be.

Bought it :)

Working on new stuff tonight; usually before a session we listen to an album all the way thru with the lights out...well, I know what's gonna be playing tonight 8)

Thanks for the support!!! It means really means a lot to me.

My pleasure 😎
