The Innocence Mission - We Walked in Song
With eleven new songs that are memorable and genuinely
moving, the album continues t.i.m.'s progression
toward intimate
recordings where each note played and sung seems essential.
From the shining opening track, "Brotherhood of Man",
in which
she speaks of connectedness to strangers in everyday moments,
to the longing of the closing lines of "My Sisters
Return from
Ireland", Karen Peris' hauntingly beautiful
voice communicates with immediacy. Her very visual, engaging
lyrics have a rare
emotional depth and a firm sense of place. Inside them
the sadness of loss and longing coexist with hope and
joy. download
full bio
Rolling
Stone "As with their 1995 breakthrough, Glow,
the Innocence Mission's Befriended is an album of small
gifts rendered with a craftsman's touch. Karen Peris has
an endearing and pure voice, her refined intonations glide
over the music like a brave bird singing on an cold autumn
morning. She and guitarist (and husband) Don and bassist
Mike Bitts, works in ethereal atmospheres on such songs
as "Sweep Down Early" and "Tomorrow on
the Runway." These songs revolve around past lives,
families, and reminiscences -- sort of an emotional scrapbook
of music and memories." Ken Micallef |
