Pitchfork Gives the innocence mission A Glowing Review

In a glowing 8.0 review, Pitchfork writes that the new album from the innocence mission, Midwinter Swimmers, is “an invitation to reclaim the assured and commonplace language of awe. This is what ‘beautiful’ was meant to describe… From the retro mellotron to the band’s steadfast use of tambourines with a cold echo, Midwinter Swimmers sounds like a forgotten folk album from the ’60s or ’70s—a Vashti Bunyan and Paul Simon collaboration, if their personalities weren’t total contradictions—with all the hope, promise, and desire records of that era tend to hold.” Read the full review here.

Thanks to the stations that helped the album debut at #59 on the NACC Top 200 this week! We hope to find more Top 30 and Folk charters for next week.
