Louisville's #TheOxfords were a wonderful late 60s/early 70s band that get tagged as #SunshinePop for good reason. Though clearly they were enamoured by #psychedelia too, reciting #eecummings and covering an #IncredibleStringBand song on their lone 1970 album. Lead singer #JillDeMarco had a soaring, powerful voice, but she also wrote songs like "The Harm I Do (By Being Me)" that cut deeper than most of her harmonising compatriots were capable of imagining.

Armstrong - HandiCrafts
"Too lo-fi and steeped in emotional immediacy to be sophisti-pop and yet too 'considered' to disregard such inferences, Armstrong's song writing and ability to resonate each note means this Handicrafts double CD/album he regularly flirts with pop perfection."

Anything Goes is an album by Harpers Bizarre, released in 1967.
The title track was used in the opening montage of the 1970 film The Boys in the Band. - Wikipedia
My favourite track by far is the cover of Van Dyke Parks' High Coin.

Feelin' Groovy is the debut album by the American sunshine pop band Harper's Bizarre, released in 1967.
Feelin' Groovy Review by Matthew Greenwald
...Enter producer Lenny Waronker and session musician/arranger/songwriter/general musical architect Van Dyke Parks. The two of them brought then-drummer Ted Templeman up to the front as co-lead vocalist, along with Dick Scoppettone, and created a soft rock identity for the group, renaming them Harpers Bizarre...songs by Van Dyke Parks ("Come to the Sunshine"), Randy Newman ("Debutante's Ball"), and others. An excellent and definitive slice of California soft pop.

Renaissance is the second album by the Association. This was their last album recorded for the Valiant Records label.
Renaissance Review by Bruce Eder
... With Association rhythm guitarist Jim Yester's brother Jerry Yester producing, Renaissance has a more stripped-down, conventional folk-rock feel. Apart from lead guitarist Gary Alexander and wind player Terry Kirkman, none of the other members played on this album, but Alexander is a delight, mixing melodic folk-rock picking and strumming, throwing in a few high-energy licks on one or two numbers, and even using a koto for the album's single, "Pandora's Golden Heebie Jeebies." The latter, despite having a grotesque title when following up a single like "Cherish," is a prize piece of pop psychedelia, all gorgeous harmonies and spaced-out sensibilities backed by a bracing beat...

Eternity's Children Review by Jason Ankeny
..Although the presence of producer Curt Boettcher guarantees comparisons to like-minded .. acts like the Association and Sagittarius, Eternity's Children's lush, overlapping harmonies were all their own, and their songs cut an impressive swath of stylistic territory, from the gorgeous, bossa nova-like "My Happiness Day" to the gritty blue-eyed soul of the Chips Moman-produced "The Sidewalks of the Ghetto." Some of their material was certainly suspect -- songs like "Sunshine Among Us" and "Get Outta Here" strive unconvincingly for psychedelic-era edginess, while "The Thinking Animal" is an embarrassing stab at social relevance -- but the good far outweighs the bad, and cuts like "Mrs. Bluebird," "Your World," "Again Again," and "Sunshine and Flowers" are essential listening for anyone enamored with the West Coast harmony-pop sound.

Begin is the sole studio album released by the American music group the Millennium released in August 1968 on Columbia Records.
Begin was the second album to use sixteen-track recording technology following Simon & Garfunkel's album Bookends. The group wrote songs in a style later described as sunshine pop, a style noted for its influence of psychedelia with rich harmony vocals and lush orchestrations. Due to the album's complex recordings and long studio time, it became the most expensive studio album recorded by 1968.
...Begin continued to receive positive reviews after the album was re-issued in the 1990s, with AllMusic finding it to be a "bona fide lost classic" and that it was on the same level as "more widely popular albums from the era", and Pitchfork declaring it "probably the single greatest 60s pop record produced in L.A. outside of the Beach Boys." - Wikipedia
