Love. Connection. Community. Understanding. Most of us experience these aspects through the prism of family and friends. Not everybody can turn those feelings into song, however. Especially not with the beauty and sensitivity of Pennsylvania trio The Innocence Mission, fronted by Karen Peris and husband Don. Following their Bella Union album debut Sun on the Square, they have made another exquisite and touching record, See You Tomorrow. It’s an LP steeped in awe and wonder, intense longing, sadness and joy; a rich sequence of songs that attempt to describe the essence of what makes us human.

The band recorded See You Tomorrow in the Peris’ basement (and the dining room where the piano sits). Karen wrote and sang 10 of the 11 songs and plays guitars, piano, pump organ, accordion, electric bass, melodica, mellotron and an old prototype strings sampler keyboard. Don contributes guitars, drums, vocal harmonies and one lead vocal on his song Mary Margaret in Mid-Air. Fellow founder member Mike Bitts adds upright bass to four songs, including On Your Side.
