Description
See You Tomorrow is a full-length studio album by the American alternative folk/pop band The Innocence Mission, independently released in the US and Canada on Thérèse Records in January 2020, and in Europe on Bella Union Records. The album was recorded entirely at home, in the Peris’ basement and dining room. All songs written by Karen Peris, except “Mary Margaret in Mid-Air”, written by Don Peris.
The Innocence Mission, built around married couple Don and Karen Peris, has been gifting us with lovely melodic folk music for 30 years. It’s hard to even fathom that, but it’s true – their first album came out in 1989. Their new one, ‘See You Tomorrow’, is their 11th, not counting a bevy of EPs, and after several sparser records, this one fills out the sound with pianos and melodicas and electric guitars and tympanis and other lovely accoutrements.
This means that the sound is richer, but the songs are just as pretty as they’ve always been, and Karen Peris’ voice as haunting and fragile. I would point out highlights – like the delightful opener, «The Brothers Williams Said», or the brief «At Lake Maureen», or the absolutely gorgeous «Stars That Fall Away From Us» – but honestly the entire thing is a highlight. It’s their best in years, and I look forward to sinking into it many more times in the coming months. [Andre Salles, Tuesday Morning 3 a.m., February 25, 2020]
