The Innocence Mission to release new album

Since 1988, the husband-and-wife songwriting team of Don and Karen Peris have released eight studio recordings under the moniker of The Innocence Mission, and this spring they’re back with a ninth.

Set for release by Badman Recording Co. on March 20, We Walked In Song is The Innocence Mission’s first disc of original material since Befriended was honored by NPR as a “Top 10 Album of the Year for 2003.” The LP was recorded at the Peris’ home studio in Lancaster, Penn., and features Karen on vocals, guitars, pump and Hammond organs, and piano; Don on backing vocals, guitars, drums and Hammond organ; and Mike Bitts on upright and electric bass guitars.

Although dates have yet to be announced, the band plans to tour the East Coast this spring.
