I was reading Japan Today tonight and found this item about some fellow Hawthorne High School alumni:
The article states that the yet-untitled album will be released June 5.
I had the pleasure to see The Beach Boys in concert on New Year's Eve in 1980 at the Forum in Inglewood, California.

LOS ANGELES —
Reunited 1960s pop band The Beach Boys have released a teaser track of their first new single in two decades - a dreamy, five part-harmony throwback to their southern California surf sound called “That’s Why God Made the Radio.”
The song will be the first single off an album of new material on which the band has been working ahead of their 50th anniversary tour, which kicked off on Tuesday.

“It’s like an accolade to the radio and what it’s meant to so many people,” vocalist and songwriter Mike Love said in a promotional trailer released on YouTube.
“It’s our new single from our new album ... if you like harmony it’s going to knock your socks off,” added Al Jardine.
Original Beach Boys Jardine, Love and frontman Brian Wilson have teamed up with Bruce Johnston and David Marks for album and concert tour. Wilson’s brothers Carl and Dennis, who were part of the original 1960s California line-up died in 1983 and 1998 respectively.
