No Pier Pressure, Brian Wilson's eleventh studio album will be released by Capitol Records on April 3
The album features collaborations with Beach Boys bandmates, Kacey Musgraves, Nate Ruess, Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward, Peter Hollens, and Capital Cities’ Sebu Simonian.
The album will be released in standard 13-track and deluxe 18-track editions, each available on CD and digitally, as well as a 16-track 2LP edition on 180-gram vinyl.
For the No Pier Pressure sessions, Brian Wilson reunited with longtime collaborator Joe Thomas, with whom he co-produced The Beach Boys’ USA No. 3 Billboard album That’s Why God Made The Radio for the band’s 50th anniversary reunion in 2012.
In addition, Wilson was joined at Hollywood’s Ocean Way Studios by the aforementioned musicians he personally invited to record with him. These included his former Beach Boys bandmates Al Jardine, David Marks and Blondie Chaplin. Session veterans Don Was, Jim Keltner, Dean Parks also take part in proceedings.
Wilson initially envisioned the sessions for his new album with The Beach Boys in mind, but that was not to be.
