One Divine Day

One Divine Day (originally titled “wunjo”) is the first studio album by American rock band Oberon Rose, via ThouART Records.

Tommy Oberon and Rebecca Rose had at this time just moved from NYC to Woodstock, NY to focus on songwriting as a team. The original idea for the album was to produce a lofi psych/folk/pop record recorded entirely
on a cassette 4-Track.

And that was exactly how all of the songs were originally recorded. On a cassette 4-Track by Tommy at his home studio. While both Tommy and Rebecca loved the sound, in the end, they felt it sounded too much like a demo. So, the songs were re-recorded on Pro-Tools. A lot of the original 4-Track recording was maintained for the final record as they felt strongly about keeping the lofi sound that was originally intended for the record.

While recording One Divine Day, Tommy and Rebecca were living in the same cottage that Levon Helm lived in during the making of the Band’s second album, The Band, in 1969. (The rustic fireplace bared the scars of Levon not wanting to go outside to chop firewood during the freezing Catskill winter, choosing instead to use the hearth as his chopping board.)
