My Room in the Trees

The innocence mission's upcoming album, my room in the trees, will be available in stores and on line on July 13th, 2010. We are now taking orders for the CD and shipping in mid-June to those that can't wait until July to have this beautiful, uplifting thirteen song album. Check out the new song "the happy mondays" in our radio player!

My Room in the Trees is their new album. The visual title feels like an extension of the album's lyrics, which often evoke feelings of solitude and images of the natural world. Sonically, the album progresses along the path begun with Birds of My Neighborhood, spacious and warmly grounded with baritone and nylon string guitars and upright bass, and lit from above by electric guitar and piano. Songs include the cinematic opening "Rain", "North American Field Song", and "The Happy Mondays"- a strangely beautiful song about searching for connectedness and shared experiences, recorded mostly live in the Peris' home, it is also a celebration of an everyday walk home from school, when "the clouds of Pennsylvania break apart".

“Luxuriously hushed and as moving as a Nick Drake record sung by Joni Mitchell, My Room is another remarkable gem.” – The Big Takeover
