Our Take

Oh, darling music lovers, do we have a treat for you! It's time to bask in the psychedelic sounds of It's A Beautiful Day's self-titled debut album, followed by their equally enchanting sophomore release, Marrying Maiden. These San Francisco darlings may not have achieved the same level of fame as their Haight-Ashbury contemporaries, but their music is a hidden gem just waiting to be discovered.

With swirling violins, jangly guitars, and haunting vocals, It's A Beautiful Day's debut album is a magical journey through the Summer of Love. Songs like "White Bird" and "Hot Summer Day" transport you to a world of peace, love, and good vibes. It's the perfect soundtrack for a lazy afternoon in the park or a hazy night of stargazing.

And if you thought it couldn't get any better, prepare to be blown away by Marrying Maiden. This album takes the band's signature sound and elevates it to new heights. Tracks like "Don and Dewey" and "Oranges and Apples" showcase the band's evolution as musicians and songwriters, with intricate arrangements and introspective lyrics.

So, dear readers, do yourselves a favor and dive into the kaleidoscopic world of It's A Beautiful Day. Let their music wash over you like a gentle wave, and let yourself be carried away on a journey of pure sonic bliss. It's a beautiful day indeed.
