I put it on unassumingly, out of curiosity after your post, and it just stopped me in my tracks.

Back in the early days of AAA radio, my local station used to play "Black Sheep Wall" from the debut. I picked up a promo cassette, loved it, then never really heard another thing they've done since. Relistening to the debut today for the first time in years, it really is a remarkably lovely, assured performance and production.

Hadn't actually heard them before but that NPR performance upthread is amazing.

There was certainly a time in the 90's when the taint of religiosity around any 'alternative' band was kind of a death knell (Velour 100 caught up in this as well ... plus the endless debates about whether His Name Is Alive were actually secret church goers). Seems a bit ridiculous now.

My friend mentioned them last night, and all I could recall was "The Lakes of Canada" and "Bright as Yellow," then today stumbled on this one on YouTube, and it's just absolutely stunning.

I haven't been into their work the past dozen years or so - it's ok, just hasn't grabbed me - but Karen Peris' new solo album ("A Song Is Way Above The Lawn") is great, full of beauty and tenderness, wonderful piano and strings, and a sweetness that is refreshing in this world.
