We Walked in Song (Badman Recording Co.). Review by Aaron Shaul.
THE INNOCENCE MISSION WE WALKED IN SONG Badman Recording Co. The last time The Innocence Mission and I crossed paths was in the late '90s with Birds of Our Neighborhood. While that record hewed pretty close to their earlier albums of alternative folk, the biggest revelation came with their immaculate ...

August 1998 :: Film :: I Went Down (Jim Presnell)
I Went Down An excellent gangster film Irish-style, I Went Down does a number on the subconscious as it takes off on several stereotypes of organized crime and busts them into smithereens. Director Paddy Breathnach doesn't have to choose, so he doesn't. Some moments make their point in light-as-a-feather ...

The artists on it include Bonnie Prince Billy (Will Oldham of Palace/Palace Brothers), the Innocence Mission, Tarnation, Low, Red House Painters, and the Sunshine ...

April 1999 :: Features :: Ethics Gone Awry (Rhoda Koss)
ETHICS GONE AWRY IS THERE A MORALS CRISIS IN AMERICA? by Rhoda Koss In my lifetime, the moral climate in this country has changed vastly, segueing from the puritanical '50s into the revolutionary '60s and landing 30 years later in a questionable topsy-turvy state. People often say that the '60s represented ...

Ordinary Days (Little Scrubby). Review by Aaron Shaul.
LISA CERBONE ORDINARY DAYS Little Scrubby Ever listen to The Innocence Mission? They're a stoically whimsical pop band that rode out the '90s on a wave of post-Sundays acoustic guitars and cooing femme vocals. As heavenly as singer Karen Peris's voice was, it was also the most polarizing aspect of ...

THE ELANORS A YEAR TO DEMONSTRATE Isidore A Year to Demonstrate is pretty much what you'd expect it to be: Norah Jones-ish coffee house jazz. At its best, the group waxes close to the gentle male/female vocals of The Innocence Mission. But the innocuous adult alternative jazz phrasings of the music ...

Ezra Moon (Strange Attractors). Review by Aaron Shaul.
AUTUMN SHADE EZRA MOON Strange Attractors The accompanying press release for Autumn Shade's Ezra Moon disc tries to place her in the camp of contemporary experimental folkies like ex-Esper Marissa Nadler and CocoRosie. It's an odd gamble; the fleeting charm of the weirder elements in the freak folk ...

Come Down (Rykodisc). Review by Aaron Shaul.
TARA ANGELL COME DOWN Rykodisc Come Down feels like it belongs in the mid-'90s, mashed into a college radio line-up between Mazzy Star and Innocence Mission. As a former fan of both of those groups, this release comes primed to spur the nostalgia, but where the riffs feel extremely familiar, they also ...
