For twelve years now I’ve been consistently playing the baffling and almost daringly unlikeable album Orange Crate Art by Van Dyke Parks and Brian Wilson. There’s something about it that fascinates me so deeply. It is both horrible and wonderful at the same time. I can’t recommend it flat out to just everyone, but to people with an open mind and patience, you might just find yourself with a new desert island classic as I have.
