Album Notes & Community Reviews

A pivotal album in Natalie Mering's discography, 'The Innocents' marks her transition from more experimental, lo-fi beginnings to a more focused and lush sound. The record is a beautifully haunting collection of psychedelic folk and chamber pop, defined by its dramatic piano-led arrangements, vintage-inspired production, and Mering's powerful, timeless vocals. It's a crucial step in her evolution, laying the groundwork for the grand, cinematic albums that would follow.
