Glow, The Innocence Mission's third album, was released in 1995 on A&M Records. Musically, it marks a radical depature for the group, as The Sundays/10,000 Maniacs inspired Dream Pop aesthetic found on their first two albums was replaced by a more straight-forward, cleaner rock sound. The album was recorded over a several month period at Kingsway Studios, New Orleans, Louisiana and Bad Animals Studios, Seattle, Washington.
