Since their fated meeting through a classified ad in a San Francisco newspaper, singer/songwriter Elise Bellew and songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Blake Ryan Dayton have been working meticulously to create their own unique sound and style of vibey alternative pop/rock. From a profound and moving dream Elise had about the Virgin Mary comes the name The Mary Dream. Elise’s distinctive ethereal vocals and impactful lyrics join together with Blake’s lush orchestrations and unique guitar layerings to create some of the most moving, yet melodic alternative pop/rock emerging today.

Beautiful World is The Mary Dream’s critically acclaimed full-length debut on their own label SuperUniverse Records, and was recorded almost entirely at home by Blake and Elise, except for the drum tracks, which were recorded by producer Richie Biggs (Switchfoot, Nichole Nordeman, etc) using Nashville session drummer Steve Brewster (Jewel, Faith Hill, etc). The record was also mixed and mastered by Richie Biggs at The Art House in Nashville.

Beautiful World is a collection of 11 bittersweet and compelling songs that are both dreamy and melodic. From the optimistic title track Beautiful World, to the hauntingly beautiful Say My Name, this record is a must for listeners who are seeking to be moved in a deep and genuine way. Since it’s release, numerous songs from Beautiful World have been used in film and television, with prominent features that include “How You Love Me” on ABC’s All My Children, “More” on MTV’s Real World Denver, and “Stay” on MTV’s Real World Hollywood. In addition, the title track “Beautiful World” has spread virally throughout the world as an optimistic and sentimental anthem.
