L.A. (Light Album)

The Beach Boys

A late-seventies blend of yacht rock polish and disco experimentation. Lush vocal harmonies meet synthesizers and ocean-side melancholy.

It's the Beach Boys doing disco and yacht rock, and it's way better than you'd expect.

A polished, sunset-hued reflection on love and nostalgia with a surprising dance-floor pulse.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition into the four-on-the-floor disco beat during the ten-minute remake of Here Comes the Night.
The delicate, Bach-inspired synthesizer melody that opens Lady Lynda before the harmonies swell.
Dennis Wilson's gravelly, heartbroken delivery on Love Surrounds Me set against a lush synth backdrop.
