Befriended has never
been released on vinyl in North America until now. It includes the
previously unreleased bonus track "Words of My Brother" and is pressed
on limited edition Deep Purple colored vinyl.
For listeners of The Innocence Mission, the Lancaster, PA trio are
beyond a favorite band, more like a beloved companion, such is the
intensity and fragility of their sound and vision, spearheaded by Karen
Peris' heartbreaking, breathtaking voice. Those fans include Sufjan
Stevens and Sam Beam (Iron & Wine), who have both covered innocence
mission songs, and in whose company the trio deserve to be bracketed.
Originally released on CD in 2003 befriended received high praise from
NPR, Pitchfork, and many others. Arguably their best work, befriended is
a haunting collection of songs that feature the interplay of Don Peris'
gorgeously warm and shimmering electric guitars with Karen's
transcendently lovely vocals and moving lyrics.
