Pet Sounds--The Beach Boys | The Story Behind the Album Cover Art

from Album Art-The Stories Behind Music's Iconic Album Covers · host Charlie and Adam Yoe

Send us Fan Mail Six clean-cut Californians feeding goats at the zoo. That’s the cover. But nothing about Pet Sounds is as innocent as it looks. Behind those matching jackets and polite smiles is a man chasing god through a four-track recorder. Brian Wilson wasn’t trying to make hits—he was trying to make sense. This album is the sound of a beautiful mind fraying at the edges, and the cover? A postcard from the edge just before the fall. Grab a copy and listen along with us.
