Friends

Album by The Beach Boys

Friends finds The Beach Boys stripping back their sound into a gentle, pastoral fusion of baroque pop and psychedelic folk, built around intimate vocal harmonies and sparse, domestic arrangements. It dwells on friendship, home and quiet spirituality, offering an understated, introspective counterpoint to their earlier surf-pop image.
First released: 10th June 1968
