• Track Listing

Digitally remastered and expanded edition of this 1967 album from the Pop outfit formed by songwriters Peter Anders and Vincent Poncia. Despite their East Coast roots, Anders and Poncia felt a gravitational pull toward the California Sunshine Pop sound, and as the Trade Winds had released the album Excursions. Then came the Innocence: another studio project that retained the masterful songwriting abilities of the shape-shifting pair, along with a different sort of wide-eyed Pop that the name implies. The Innocence¹s sole album includes a bevy of beautiful and oftentimes surprisingly expressive songs that can be simultaneously heartbreaking and uplifting. Cherry Red. 2010.
