His four final films…

This Beach Boys 45 is the band’s final musical communique prior to Pet Sounds’ release, and although it’s indisputably up there with the greatest music they’ve ever created, it died a relative death at the hands of FM radio DJs at the time due to the extremely unconventional and bold series of silences featured in the song.

When Britain entered its first Covid-19 lockdown in March 2020, many found comfort in evoking the British wartime spirit.
