Great stuff, I really like the mint julep material. I'd also be interested in hearing stuff that mixes the sparsity and space of Ayres with Hollie's vocals. Come to think of it, hearing Hollie's take on 'The Obeisant Vine' would probably be awesome.

really hits that 'atmospheric, ethereal chill' spot!!

Bliss... I just can't get enough of this. A wonderful job Keith.

Remix I did as Helios of my other project Mint Julep.
LYRICS
Rushing through the door into the street
I’m waiting for you to meet me here
We’re going down to Second Avenue
The days gone by
Days gone by
Days gone by
Looking at you there underneath the light
In spite of myself, I start to smile
Something tells me that it’ll be alright
The days gone by
Days gone by
Days gone by
We are together in the autumn air
And everyone is dancing now
We’re going to wait it out
The days gone by
Days gone by
Days gone by

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…”
