Written and produced by Parks, with all the vocals sung by Wilson, ORANGE CRATE ART is an aural landscape that evokes the California of bygone eras. Stunningly diverse, this majestic album finds Brian Wilson in amazingly fine and full voice, weaving complex harmonies around pop, calypso, samba and any other non-rock melange that suits Parks' composing fancy. The spectral lyrics conjure sweeping pastoral images, and the music is somehow both enigmatic and accessible. Standouts include the title track, the grandiose "Movies Is Magic," "On The Wings Of A Dove," and the breezy, fleeting "This Town Goes Down At Sunset."
Some 28 years after their initial, unreleased SMILE collaborations, Wilson and Parks have delivered a beautiful and challenging song-cycle that stands up to their artistic reputations.
Industry Reviews
8 (out of 10) - ...The music--which is superb throughout--is old, barbershop, orchestral; there's a beautiful sense of America before rock and roll here. The whole thing has a sort of sense of peaceful Pacific evening about it....an extraordinarily atmospheric record...
NME (11/25/1995)
...Pop innocence at its best on an album so sweet it's disarming. - Rating: A-
