Working on the fabled rock 'n roll album perhaps?

[rab2591]

He's already doing vocals......could mean that the backing track is already completed for a track. This is fantastic news and thank you so much for posting it!

If he is recording a rock n roll album, I hope we'll get to hear some snippets soon!

This made my day.

A source that I trust implicitly but that I can not name, has told me what the song is.  This source has never been wrong before.  The song is a new duet for a new album.  The song in question is written and sung by Brian and Andrew G. Doe called "Shitweasels and Fuckwits."

According to Someone Who Would Know, that was pretty damn funny

Well, we've had Pet Sounds Sessions, Pet Sounds Live, so might as well have a companion Pet Sounds studio re-recording. I don't think we'll have to wait 20 years for it,  though, because they will also want to release Pet Sounds - the Duets, where Brian sings the songs with current pop stars. I can't wait to hear Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus and Ariana Grande bless us with their versions of those classic songs. And of course the capper on this all will be Mike Love Reimagines Pet Sounds, featuring his new versions of Wouldn't it Be Nice (no, it wouldn't), Hang Onto Your Eggo, Dog Only Knows, and Caroline, Yes.

[Robbie Mac]

Hey now, Miley covering Dolly Parton was kinda nice!

[♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇]

Glad to see he's working on some things . Whatever it is, I bet it's pretty ace!

Pet Sounds Duets - that is such a scary thought and so possible...
I hope that never happens.
They have milked this PS thing to death now, even with ongoing and the extra concerts added.
I didn't see the need for the new box, and still have not bought it, and I buy them all, but
I'm just about Pet Sounds out of the multiple formats and releases.

That 'like' button is long overdue, mods 

[SMiLE Brian]

Agreed, OSD can do the backing vocals!

[thorgil]

No news coud excite me more than Brian in the Studio Again.

I can see who wrote the lyrics. Who the song is about is left to us to guess....

I agree about the 'Like' button. I really enjoyed this one.

As another poster said, this sounds almost plausible, but one thing that reassures me is that No Pier Pressure was already practically a duets album in its way.

[HeyJude]

Keep in mind this could be something more like post-production work on a live DVD or something (which in and of itself would be exciting; a Blu-ray from the PS tour would be nice), or a one-off track for some project.

While he could be starting (or continuing) work on another album, I would guess looking at his tour schedule that we wouldn't get something until nearer the end of the year at the earliest.

I'm gonna go with: Brian is clearly recording a cover version of Mike's audiobook reading of "Good Vibrations: My Life as a Beach Boy."

[The LEGENDARY OSD]

Agreed, OSD can do the backing vocals!

Three guesses who I sound like when I sing and hold my nose.

Yeah, if this is album related I was thinking the same thing. I think NPP took a damn long time from start to finish to finally be released. Slowly but surely, I guess.

[coco1997]

Didn't Brian do an interview a few months back in which he stated he was going to work on the rock 'n roll album during the break in the middle of the PS tour? We laughed it off back then, but could it be he was telling the truth?

[SamMcK]

This is the best thing i've heard in ages! So glad we can rely on Brian's music in these trying times!

[the captain]

I haven't read the whole thread, so forgive me if I'm missing it, but how long were the early NPP tidbits before the album was out? If I'm not mistaken it was quite a while (though admittedly that project seems to have morphed a few times), really from right after the 50th until the album was released.

Anyway, whatever it is, I'm glad for more studio product.

[rab2591]

The Zooey Deschanel clip ('On The Island') was uploaded to Facebook July 2014, and the album came out 9 months later. But there are also photos of Brian recording vocals in Ocean Way back to 2013 (and chilling with Don Was in the booth as well).

So yeah, I'm not sure if we'll even hear any possible album material anytime soon, but I'm just so happy that he's there doing what he does best.

Then you have fit right in if Mike had walked out on the reunion rehearsals. 😆
