Review

Karen Peris has the voice of an angel. On their major label debut, the Innocence Mission showcase Peris' otherworldly folkie rock tunes. The music is extremely in-the-moment. This self-titled release is a pleasure to listen to; however, the songs don't stay with you between listens. ~ Tim Griggs, All Music Guide
