Brian Wilson Invented Chillwave...42 Years Ago

Close your eyes, press play. Forget that this song was recorded four decades ago, by the Beach Boys on an album that sold poorly and briefly went out of print. If you didn't know better, you'd think this song is by a current, Pitchfork -hyped west coast indie musician produced in his basement with a laptop. Negative; this is the Beach Boys "All I Wanna Do" off the album Sunflower, released in 1970.
