Glow, the Innocence Mission's third album, came out on A&M in 1995, and it's the sound of the Lancaster, Pennsylvania band stepping out of the haze. Their first two records drifted in a dream-pop fog that owed plenty to the Sundays and 10,000 Maniacs; this time they wipe the glass clean and play it straighter, a plainer, brighter folk-rock sound with the guitars left out in the open air. It was cut over several months at Kingsway Studios in New Orleans and Bad Animals in Seattle.
At the center, as always, sits Karen Peris, the band's main songwriter, whose fragile, bell-clear voice carries even the simplest melody a long way. "Bright As Yellow" is the one that stuck, a small, glowing song that people keep coming back to.
