Album Notes & Community Reviews

Effectively a Brian Wilson solo project, 'Love You' is a profoundly bizarre, delightfully charming, and surprisingly influential pioneer of synthesizer pop. The album pairs the band's legendary vocal group harmonies with an entirely manic, wildly eclectic array of primitive Moog textures, resulting in a remarkably playful, beautifully sentimental ode to domestic happiness.
