Surfin' Safari

Description

The Beach Boys are one of the most successful bands of all time, with an undeniable heavy influence on rock music throughout their career, and music in general. With genius composer and later producer Brian Wilson, the undeniably talented Carl Wilson, and Dennis Wilson who were all three raised by their father Murry who contributed substantially to the production of this album, along with Brian himself despite the credit going to Nick Venet, and the other members of the band during this time; the ever so divisive Mike Love, and their neighbor David Marks, we get their first album, an album that broke the barrier of music, "Surfin' Safari". Unlike most albums, and in a big difference to their releases to follow, their debut has a raw sound to it, almost garageband-like, and the members of the band themselves play almost all the instruments. The lead single off this album titled "Surfin" is a very great tune that was composed when Dennis told Brian about surfing getting big and having the brilliant idea to write a song about it. This song is widely also known for making the "California Sound" genre which was a music aesthetic around surfing, car culture, and innocence in youth years.
