商品の説明
The Innocence Mission ~ Befriended The members of The Innocence Mission were still in high school when they became friends and band mates. Singer-songwriter Karen Peris, her husband, guitarist Don Peris and bassist Mike Bitts first performed together as the stage band for their Lancaster, Pa. Catholic school production of 'Godspell'. Through many recordings and tours, both on their own and with Natalie Merchant, Emmylou Harris and 16 Horse Power, the band has gained legions of devoted listeners. And they have grown immeasurably as songwriters, singers and musicians. Their new album, 'Befriended', on San Francisco indie label Badman Recording Co., is among their best and most compelling work. With ten new songs that are memorable and genuinely moving, the album continues t.i.m.'s progression toward intimate recordings where each note played and sung seems essential. Karen Peris' hauntingly beautiful voice communicates with immediacy. Her very visual, engaging lyrics have a rare emotional depth and a firm sense of place. Inside them the sadness of loss and longing coexist with hope and joy. A number of the songs seem to be tributes or elegies to beloved friends. In the cinematic opening track, 'Tomorrow On The Runway', Ms. Peris sings, 'Oh be the music in my head, the air around my bed, oh be my rest, replace the small disgraces of the times and places that I never really left.' In listening to these songs one hears echoes of regret and longing to change 'a beautiful change', and surprise at being befriended at all. Don Peris' ringing, tremulous electric guitar and Paul Simon - inspired acoustic guitar weave their own soulful melodies around Karen's voice. The tracks are further lit by Karen's bursts and lines of melodic piano, and they have a rich warmth owing, in part, to the combination of Mike's upright bass and Karen's baritone acoustic guitar. As with it's predecessor, the critically acclaimed, melancholic 'Birds Of My Neighborhood', the album was produced by the band and recorded by Don. In describing The Innocence Mission of recent years one writer suggested that we 'think of an American Astrud Gilberto making a record with Buffalo Springfield'. Their sound is somewhat unique to them and yet comfortingly familiar. It's naturalness has developed over years of growing and changing, and the members of The Innocence Mission admit it is hard to recognize themselves in their first, eponymous album. Of their singularly un-hip name, Karen says, 'It was so long ago that we chose it but I think the idea was that music can be a shelter, and music is something that is made with pure joy, with purity of intention, purity of heart'.

レビューのフィルタリング中に問題が発生しました。後でもう一度試してください。
オリジナル曲を聴いてみたくなり手に取りましたが、オリジナル曲は更に秀逸でした。
ジャンルとしては、一応ネオアコの部類でしょうか。
舌足らずであどけなさの残る印象的なボーカルは勿論ですが、
トレモロを効果的に使った暖かみのあるギターのアルペジオが、
メロディーラインの美しさを引き立たせ、叙情的な世界を作り上げています。
私のお勧めは one for sorrow,two for joy です。
いまのところyoutubeにアップされているので、これを聞いて気に入った方は買いです。
子供のような自由な世界観にフン♫フン♪楽しくなりましてこればっかし聴いているうちに、そのシンプルさについに飽きがきてしまうという残念な私を反省して、適度にスピード感があるものと組み合わせるなどして工夫しています(笑)
cookie sceneのサンプルCDに一曲目が収録されていて
一発でやられました。うまいとか味があるって感じじゃないけど
純粋な澄み切った声とシンプルな楽曲。
女性ボーカル好きな人はもちろん
そうでない人にもオススメです。

Exquisitely arranged and delicately played and sung, every song is a treasure. Stand outs for me are "Tomorrow on the Runway" and "Walking Around", the latter a lullaby that doesn't really lull, but instead nudges one to reflect on the bittersweetness of life and to just follow the rhythm to where it leads...and you can hear in this song's rhythm that it's not a bad place, but rather the only place you want to be.
Thank you Karen and company for showing me the simplicity of sentiment expressed through music can still be very powerful and for reminding me not to grieve my loss, but to embrace the friendship I had.
