Looking for suggestions for albums with a similar sound to Pet Sounds. Doesn't matter if it's current or older. The more obscure, the better Grin
Thanks in advance!

Beethoven Symphony number 9 (not very obscure, but it's the closest thing I can think of in musical spirit)

The Thrills - Teenager

as you can guess by the title, it's all about teenage love. has that feeling of nostalgia/remorse that pet sounds has.  Also all the songs sound similar before their melodies start opening up to you, much like the production on pet sounds.  not that the production is anything LIKE pet sounds. 

also like pet sounds, it didn't get love when it came out.  the band releases their best album and have been on hiatus ever since

Try High Llamas albums Gideon Gaye or Hawaii
It shows the (kinda wall of sound) technic of playing the same melody with different instruments

Thanks in advance!

I've heard many of the records mentioned here; I don't connect with them in the same emotional way as I do with Pet Sounds. A record's sound is different from its vibe.

There are artists who have emulated the sound, but none have combined lyrics and sonics with youthful feelings of yearning, loss and isolation to make a groundbreaking album length record.

Not an album, but this song is ridiculously inspired by the album Pet Sounds:

God must’ve smiled the day Brian Wilson was born!

"ragegasm" - /rāj • ga-zəm/ : a logical mental response produced when your favorite band becomes remotely associated with the bro-country genre.

Ever want to hear some Beach Boys songs mashed up together like The Beatles' 'LOVE' album? Check out my mix!

That's a really good album. Definately a very strong 1965-1966 Beach Boys vibe, and songs like California Home, Where Do The Girls Of Summer Go and Night Of The Lions are outstanding. Too bad the guy has a rather unpleasant voice...

Hey guys,

Thanks for all the suggestions.I have many of the mentioned albums. While Odessey and Oracle and Begin (among others) are fantastic records, I was hoping to get some suggestions that are more similar to Splitsville's "Pet Soul" (edit - I see it was mentioned above).
