We Walked In Song
Innocence Mission arrived just in time. The Lancaster, PA band fronted by married team of songwriter/singer Karen and guitarist Don Peris, showed up at the pre-Lilith Faire frenzy for arty, airy alternative pop featuring female vocalists. It was a time marked by 10,000 Maniacs (the Peris’ went on to perform a song on Natalie Merchant’s Ophelia disc), Over the Rhine, Sam Phillips, and Bjork. After three acclaimed albums, that garnered mainstream and Christian industry attention, including landing a track on the Empire Records movie soundtrack, the Peris’ pulled back to focus on family and faith, but the music kept coming, available largely online. So, while they’ve still been producing discs, We Walked in Song is the most accessible and compelling collection since 1995’s Glow. Intimate, quiet, poetic and wistful, Karen Peris’ songs very genuinely offer a glimpse into an earlier, more innocent and childlike time. Or maybe they just embody a world very different from the too very busy, wired and weird urban existence that I know all too well. With a mystic’s sense of wonder, she sings of the “Colors of the World,” where “this bit of yellow could be a leaf, or a beam of light, a girl in a taxi.” Simple, soulful expressions dominate over gentle guitar overlays, the subtle addition of piano and bass, the occasional drum. “Into Brooklyn, Early in the Morning” has a Mamas & the Papas feel, but like the whole of the record it feels as though it is floating in another realm, one not too burdened with the daily challenges of modern existence, even as it reflects on an early morning flight. My one disappointment comes from a theological and linguistic commitment to use language that is gender inclusive, so that all people are included. “Brotherhood of Man,” a lovely song about community and human connections, need not be limited by male-dominant words, but it is. [Badman] Brian Quincy Newcomb
