At the same time, it’s a new kind of adventure for the beloved Pennsylvania band of high school friends Karen Peris, Don Peris, and Mike Bitts, having both an expansive, cinematic quality and the strange, lo-fi beauty of a newly discovered vintage folk record. The new album has had an extremely warm reception from journalists and listeners around the world. NPR Music called it “ Really, really highly recommended.” “This is what beautiful was meant to sound to like,” Pitchfork wrote. Brooklyn Vegan named it one of the best albums of 2024, adding: “Karen Peris’ songwriting and voice has the uncanny ability to tap into your memory palace, setting free feelings you didn’t know you had, memories that may not even be yours.” “It’s like it was recorded at Western Electric in the 60’s, and makes me think of Vashti Bunyan or Sibylle Baier, but also has these emotional bursts of orchestration and drums and harmony coming in - the sound of the innocence mission never stops getting richer”, writes one early listener and friend.
