At My Piano is the 11th studio album by American musician Brian Wilson, released on November 19, 2021 through Decca Records. It consists of instrumental re-recordings of songs from Wilson's back catalogue.[4]

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."[6]
