老牌Dream Pop乐队The Innocence Mission的第八张录音室专辑《My Room In Trees》。他们的歌词往往引起听者的孤独和对自然世界的影像感受。 来自美国的独立流行乐队The Innocence Mission让我们体会到了音乐带来的那种心灵的享受，没有华丽的技术，也没有什么开创性之类的称号，你需要的只是静静的聆听…… The Innocence Mission的魅力，只要一听，便会耽溺其中不可自拔；担任主唱、钢琴、吉他、弦乐／风琴的 Karen Peris，拥有如小女孩般略微尖锐、却又蕴含深刻情感，回转自如的优美清澈嗓音，负责吉他、鼓、合音的 Don Peris 则擅长以简单却余韵无穷的空心吉他，酝酿出清新有如晨曦朝雾的音乐，甜美绝伦、却又带著清淡哀愁的旋律，充分传达出民谣抒发情感的特质。 "My Room in the Trees" is the forthcoming eighth studio album from The Innocence Mission, set to be released July 13 via Badman Recording Company. Originally slated for release in spring 2009, the album was preceeded by the teaser EP release Street Map in December 2008. The EP – released independently by The Innocence Mission via their own LAMP label – was intended to preview several tracks that would later appear on their then-upcoming studio album. However, an update to their website in September 2009 revealed that after further recording, the next LP had "turned out to be a mostly new group of songs, with maybe one song from Street Map." Later, in March 2010, it was announced that no songs found on Street Map will appear on My Room In The Trees. The full version of new song "The Happy Mondays" is available to stream on the radio player located at Badman Recording Co.'s website, while the site will also be "taking pre-orders for the CD around May 25th and shipping in mid-June to those that can't wait to have this beautiful, uplifting thirteen song album." "Rain" features the return of founding member Steve Brown on drums, who left the group in 1997 to pursue a career as a chef. The track "I'd Follow If I Could" was originally released as a bonus track on international editions of their previous studio album We Walked In Song under the title "Shooting Star (Sketch)," while "Rhode Island" is a new version of a song that dates back to early 1996. "Rhode Island" was performed only a handful of times on the band's Glow tour, and for a February 1996 appearance on the Acoustic Cafe radio show. A 1997 demo recording of "Rhode Island" was briefly offered through the band's official site as a free download in February 2003.[3] The new recording of "Rhode Island" has distinctive double-tracked harmonies where singer Karen Peris harmonizes with herself. Two tracks ("Mile-Marker" and "The Melendys Go Abroad") are instrumentals -- a staple of songwriter/guitarist Don Peris' solo work, but a relatively new hallmark of Innocence Mission releases (there were three such instrumentals on the Street Map EP).
