This Is Ivy League

So I pretty much grew up on Simon and Garfunkel, my dad would put 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' on repeat.  So when I think of my youth, mellow male A-cappella is somberly embedded into my head.  Of course I have a special place in my heart for classic artists such as The Beatles and The Beach Boys, but Simon and Garfunkel significantly reminds me of the days where responsibilities and stress hardly existed.  This Is Ivy League definitely has that modern mellow Simon and Garfunkel/Beach Boys sound but alternatively twisted into indie-folk.  The male entwined vocals accent each other with pitches never colliding but perfectly in sync.  Their self-titled album is the epitome of a soundtrack that perfectly accents a sunny California day.  And of course, being born in raised in good ole Cali, I have come to form a appreciation of music that reminds me of home sweet home.  This Is Ivy League, intricately mixes mellow male vocals with pleasantly summer-sweet melodies you could of sworn was ripped right out of the 70s and modernly twisted to fit our music era!  Bliss, that is all I have to say...
