Background

Wilson commented in an interview, "Well, it wasn’t my idea. The record company [Decca] brought the idea to us and it seemed interesting. So we tried it out. It is weird without vocals. [...] The label had a list of their choices, then I had mine and me and Darian [Sahanaja] just sort of picked what was best."{{cite web |last=Sacher |first=Andrew |title=Q&A with Brian Wilson on new album At My Piano and new film 'Long Promised Road' |url=https://www.brooklynvegan.com/qa-with-brian-wilson-on-new-album-at-my-piano-and-new-film-long-promised-road/ |website=BrooklynVegan |date=November 19, 2021 |access-date=June 3, 2023 |archive-date=June 3, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230603154341/https://www.brooklynvegan.com/qa-with-brian-wilson-on-new-album-at-my-piano-and-new-film-long-promised-road/ |url-status=live }}
