Bella Union

Bella Union is a UK label that has been run by Simon Raymonde, former member of Cocteau Twins, since 1997. With a focus on discovering new talent, Bella Union has introduced the world to bands such as Fleet Foxes, Beach House, Lanterns on The Lake, I Break Horses, Ballet School, and Midlake. As a ℗ & © coyright holding entity, Bella Union continues to be at the forefront of the music industry.

The Innocence Mission is an American indie rock band that was formed in 1985 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The current line-up consists of Karen Peris on vocals, guitar, piano, and organ; Don Peris on guitars, drums, and vocals; and Mike Bitts on bass guitar and vocals. They have been making music for over three decades and have gained a loyal following with their unique sound.

With Karen's mesmerizing vocals accompanied by the beautiful melodies created by Don's guitar work and Mike's solid bass lines, The Innocence Mission has crafted a distinct musical style that sets them apart from other bands in the indie rock genre. Their heartfelt lyrics often explore themes of love, faith, and nature.

Although they experienced a change in their line-up when Steve Brown left the band in 1998 to pursue a career as a chef at Lily's on Main in Ephrata, PA., The Innocence Mission continued to create music that resonates with listeners around the world. Their dedication to their craft is evident in every song they produce.

The first studio album from the innocence mission in four years, Midwinter Swimmers sounds immediately like an old friend.

 At the same time, it's a new kind of adventure for the beloved Pennsylvania band of high school friends Karen Peris, Don Peris, and Mike Bitts, having both an expansive, cinematic quality and the strange, lo-fi beauty of a newly discovered vintage folk album. "It's like it was recorded at Western Electric in the 60's, and makes me think of Vashti Bunyan or Sibylle Baier, but also has these emotional bursts of orchestration and drums and harmony coming in - the sound of the innocence mission never stops getting richer", writes one early listener and friend.
