The album features guest performances by contemporary artists Sebu Simonian of Capital Cities, Kacey Musgraves, She & Him, and Nate Ruess of Fun. Original Beach Boys members Al Jardine and David Marks also feature alongside former band member Blondie Chaplin. Originally planned as a follow-up to the Beach Boys' 2012 reunion album ''That's Why God Made the Radio'', ''No Pier Pressure'' is the first solo Wilson LP devoted primarily to new and original material since ''That Lucky Old Sun'' in 2008. ==Background== Wilson intended to record with the Beach Boys after their 50th anniversary celebration, but decided to make a solo album instead. On June 6, 2013, Wilson's website announced that he was recording and self-producing new material with guitarist Jeff Beck, session musician/producer Don Was, as well as fellow Beach Boys Al Jardine, David Marks, and Blondie Chaplin. On June 20, the website announced that the material might be split into three albums: one of new pop songs, another of mostly instrumental tracks with Beck, and another of interwoven tracks dubbed "the suite" which initially began form as the closing four tracks of ''That's Why God Made The Radio''. Wilson embarked on a short summer tour which included Jardine and Marks. It was then announced on August 5, 2013 that Wilson would embark on a fall 2013 tour with Beck. According to Beck, "Brian will kick things off, but I'll also be given enough time to establish what I'm about. In the end, we'll mix and match. It's a complete honor to be on stage with him." Jardine and Marks also joined Wilson on the eighteen dates which began on September 27 and ended on October 30. Chaplin guested on some dates and performed "Sail On, Sailor" and "Wild Honey" with the group. That October, Wilson informed: "() about two-thirds of the way through. We have eight or nine songs done, and we need three or four more songs. Most of it is very mellow kind of stuff, mellow harmony, not very much rock 'n' roll yet. It's a pretty unique album. It's very different than anything I've ever done.""〔 The album's title, ''No Pier Pressure'', was thought up by Wilson's daughter, Daria. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「No Pier Pressure」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
