the innocence mission - befriended LP (Free U.S. shipping) on Purple Vinyl

This limited edition LP version is available on Deep Purple colored vinyl and includes the previously unreleased bonus track “Words of My Brother.”  A free download of the album will be e-mailed to each LP buyer upon request. For listeners of the innocence mission, the Lancaster, Pennsylvania 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, Paste and many others.  Befriended, is a haunting collection of 10 songs (plus a bonus track) that features the interplay of Don Peris’ gorgeously warm and shimmering electric guitars with Karen's transcendently lovely vocals and moving lyrics.
