The Beach Boys Discuss Their Evolution In New Featurette ‘White Hot Glistening’

The second featurette in the Beach Boys ’ Feel Flows video series, White Hot Glistening, is now live, setting the scene for the Feel Flows – The Sunflower and Surf’s Up Sessions 1969-1971 box set, to be released tomorrow (27).
The short films are described as “a visual exploration of this metamorphic and highly influential 1969-1971 period of the band’s legendary career.” The second installment continues the theme of the group’s transition from their pop sound of earlier years to the experimental, but no less melodic, era of the Sunflower and Surf‘s Up albums.
“In one of the great tales of rock evolution,” it says, “the Beach Boys come of age.”

“White Hot Glistening” is a lyric from “Feel Flows” itself, the Carl Wilson/Jack Rieley composition from 1971’s Surf’s Up.
Rieley, also the band's manager of the time, later described the creation of the song as “one of the finest experiences in a studio that I had.” The track reached a new and young audience when it was featured twice by director Cameron Crowe in his 2000 film Almost Famous.
