Starting out as a Mississippi folk duo, Eternity's Children continuously added more instruments and voices into their music until they had developed one of the most rich and complex sounds among pop artists of the time. Not without irony is it that they split up after giving us only two albums; but their latter, self-titled release has come to be regarded as a holy grail of 60s sunshine pop. A genre that most bands oversimplify and fail to make interesting, Eternity's Children incorporated lush production, flawless male/female vocal harmonies and some surprisingly impressive lead guitar to craft tragically underrated singles such as Mrs. Bluebird.
