Info for No Pier Pressure (Deluxe)

Seit über 50 Jahren begeistert er seine Fans mit diesem einzigartigen Talent, eine Vision, eine bloße Idee in wunderschöne Songs zu übersetzen. Der Ansatz, den Wilson in den Ocean Way Studios verfolgte, basierte auf fließenden Übergängen und absoluter Konzentration auf die Details: Gesangs- und Instrumentalaufnahmen sowie die Arrangements wurden von ihm für jeden einzelnen Albumgast regelrecht maßgeschneidert. Gerade für den Feinschliff der Arrangements nahm er sich sehr viel Zeit, nahm häufig sogar einzelne Passagen aus verschiedenen Aufnahmen und kombinierte sie – eine Methode übrigens, die schon seit den ersten Sessions mit The Beach Boys als sein Markenzeichen gilt. Genau genommen entstanden viele der neuen Songs sogar erst während der eigentlichen Aufnahmephase.

Seine Karriere begann Brian Wilson bereits im Teenager-Alter – als Gründungsmitglied von The Beach Boys, die im Juli 1962 einen Vertrag mit Capitol Records unterzeichneten und ihr Debütalbum „Surfin’ Safari“ noch im selben Jahr veröffentlichten. Den Surf-Rocksound ihrer ersten Singles erweiterten sie schon kurze Zeit später – weshalb ihr 1966 veröffentlichter Meilenstein „Pet Sounds“ seit geraumer Zeit als eines der wichtigsten und einflussreichsten Alben der Musikgeschichte gilt. Die besondere Art und Weise, wie Wilson in seinen Arrangements den Gesang und die Instrumente für zeitlose Hits wie „I Get Around“, „California Girls“, „Wouldn’t It Be Nice“, „God Only Knows“ oder „Good Vibrations“ miteinander kombinierte, machten The Beach Boys im Handumdrehen zur ultimativen US-Sensation der sechziger Jahre.

Auch als Solokünstler hat Brian Wilson, der bis dato 10 Studioalben veröffentlicht hat, massive Erfolge feiern können, so zum Beispiel mit dem 2004 vollendeten Album „Brian Wilson Presents... SMiLE“, das er bereits in den Sechzigern begonnen hatte – und das 40 Jahre später die Top-20 der US-Charts aufmischen und ihm obendrein seinen ersten Grammy-Award bescheren sollte. Den nächsten Grammy gab’s für seine Produktion des 2011 veröffentlichten „The SMiLE Sessions“-Albums von The Beach Boys. Zudem hat Wilson in den letzten Jahren mit seiner eigenen Live-Band ausverkaufte Tourneen zu den Alben „SMiLE“ und „Pet Sounds“ absolviert. Er wurde in die Songwriters’ Hall of Fame und die UK Music Hall of Fame aufgenommen und vom Kennedy Center für sein Lebenswerk und seinen besonderen Beitrag zur US-amerikanischen Kultur geehrt. Als Mitglied von The Beach Boys wurde Wilson bereits 1988 in die Rock and Roll Hall of Fame aufgenommen und 2001 mit einem Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award ausgezeichnet.

Brian Wilson
is arguably the greatest American composer of popular music in the rock era. Born and raised in Hawthorne, CA, Wilson formed the Beach Boys -- with his two younger brothers, cousin Mike Love, and school friend Alan Jardine -- and they became the most successful American rock band in history by performing his songs, which initially combined the rock urgency of Chuck Berry with the harmonies of the Four Freshmen. Wilson's musical imagination expanded during the '60s to the point of such remarkable works as 'Good Vibrations,' a chart-topping Beach Boys single of 1966. Wilson retreated from his dominance of the Beach Boys after 1967, as their popularity declined. He made sporadic contributions to their records, returning only briefly as a songwriter and producer in the mid-'70s.

Wilson issued a debut solo album in 1988, with a promising lead single 'Love and Mercy,' but a pop crossover proved elusive; ironically, the Beach Boys had concurrently recorded their own comeback around the same time, and took 'Kokomo' to the top of the charts. Wilson's second album, Sweet Insanity, was rejected by Sire, but in 1995, he reunited with his mid-'60s collaborator Van Dyke Parks for Orange Crate Art. That same year, Wilson was the subject of a documentary feature, I Just Wasn't Made for These Times, which also appeared as a soundtrack album. Following in 1998 was Imagination, which included several throwbacks to lush Beach Boys productions, but failed to entice a wide commercial audience.

Although Wilson was never a standout as a live performer, he began touring, and promptly released a pair of live titles: Live at the Roxy Theatre (2000) and Pet Sounds Live (2002). Unfortunately, his cobbled studio follow-up, 2004's Gettin' in Over My Head, exhibited the same foibles as Imagination. Also, it was overshadowed by Wilson's preparation of the legendary Beach Boys record SMiLE for its live debut and a new studio recording. He debuted the new SMiLE at the Royal Festival Hall in London on February 20, 2004, and recorded it in the studio that April. Both the live and studio versions earned rapturous reviews, and Wilson then launched a full world tour of SMiLE. The seasonal effort What I Really Want for Christmas followed in October 2005.

Then, Wilson began preparing another thematic work to follow on from SMiLE after he was commissioned by London's Southbank Centre. By late 2007, he had written and premiered That Lucky Old Sun -- based on the American vocal standard and including the participation of his SMiLE band as well as Van Dyke Parks -- at the Royal Festival Hall. Recordings quickly followed, and in September 2007, the album was released worldwide.

This album contains no booklet.
