Formed in Boston, Massachusetts, in 2007, MINT JULEP is the husband-and-wife team of Keith and Hollie Kenniff. Subsequently relocating to Portland, Oregon, the duo cut a limited release album, Songs About Snow, in 2008 and the EP, Adorn, in 2010 – effectively a trial run for further recording in their home studio, the fruit of which is a sublime follow-up, Save Your Season, released by Village Green in 2011. The couple is currently writing and recording their next album, Broken Devotion, which is slated for release in mid 2013.

Hallmarked by Hollie’s seductive, dreamy vocals and a succession of memorably soaring choruses, all of it etched with Keith’s vivid, glinting keyboards, towering guitars and miscellaneous instrumental hooks, Mint Julep make lustrous modern pop music that is wistful and mellifluous yet simultaneously powerful, even epic – equal parts shoegazing romanticism and cool, Kraftwerkian polish. Their songs seem instantly familiar, like old musical friends, a ’classicism’ offset by the freshness and luminosity they exude as they usher you on a breathless ride through the sunlit uplands of electronic indie-rock.

Mint Julep was designed as a conscious departure from Keith’s previous, ambient-orientated projects. “When Hollie and I set out to do something, I wanted to find some way to incorporate her vocals into a slightly different style, rather than just write similar material to my solo work and lay her vocals over top”, he says. “I had the need to write something that had some distorted guitars, loud drums and was a little bolder than what I had previously done. We messed around with a track one night (which became ‘Stay’) and it was a fun process, so we just kept writing more songs so we could do a project together.”

Soon a working pattern emerged, with Keith composing music around Hollie’s lyrics or making tracks which Hollie would then add to. “It just developed after a lot of trial and error, and after a while the material started to plateau and began to sound like an album…”

A Pennsylvannian by birth, Keith Kenniff is an honors graduate of Boston’s esteemed Berklee College of Music, best known as the brains behind dulcet ambient/electronic practitioners Helios and the fingers on the ivories of post-classical piano minimalists Goldmund (the latter’s music once described by no less an authority than Ryuichi Sakamoto as “…so, so, so beautiful…”). A succession of albums under those aliases has made Kenniff the darling of discerning critics and his music has also been widely used in film, television and advertising, not least on the soundtrack to the 2012 documentary Bones Brigade, as well as composing for clients such as Apple, Facebook and Google.

Originally from Ohio, singer Hollie Kenniff maintains dual US/Canadian citizenship, having spent part of her life in Ontario. Aside from Mint Julep, she has collaborated on several additional musical endeavors in tandem with husband Keith, including a children’s music project, Meadows (inspired by the couple’s young son), whose debut longplayer was recently released, and an ambient diversion under their own names. An album of the latter, A Deep and Dreamless Sleep, is slated for release in 2013.

Mint Julep - Aviary

Le temps passe si vite qu'il est bon de s'interroger sur la qualité que nous accordons au temps qui passe... et pour cela il est bon d'arrêter le temps...

Arrêter le temps (Pop française)

sex (The 1985 Cover)

Too Young still maintains that pop-driven melody and instrumentation that you hear in the other tracks on their debut EP, however it pushes on new boundaries. It displays a new direction that SKIES are moving in, away from the purely midi-driven sounds and towards a stronger blend of organic and electronic sounds. You can really hear this through the incorporation of live drums, percussion and analogue synths in this track.

📝 Lyrics:

I wake on Tuesday morning
It’s raining again
Sounds a little like applauding
It’s all cheering us on

I keep a small secret diary
Of every failure I’ve been
You look so beautiful this morning
Packing all of your things

Maybe on the sands of Los Angeles
We’ll find a new lease of life
Just stay close cos you’re so much more brave than me
I’ll be fine
If we know what we’re looking for?

We walk through Venice in the sunlight
and dream of a house on the canals
You’re floating higher up than ever
I hear a distant booming sound

What if we fall what if we fail?
You turn and pull my guard away
And throw my diary in the water
You whisper everything’s ok

Los Angeles
