Moments Alone

(New track out today! ✨)

there’s a wild grace in running through the rain
just you and the sky in full conversation
no masks, no mirrors,
only the rhythm of surrender
not escape,
but the beauty of letting it all fall

your clothes cling like second skin,
your hair forgets its place,
but for once, none of it matters

here, you feel without defense
break open without apology
and surrender completely
to the rhythm
of a fleeting,
fevered now

not all wounds close,
but something opens,
a gentleness
a grace not given,
but discovered

and in that unguarded place,
something shifts
you find a truer rhythm

Running Through Rain

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.

Michael Harris - Distant

This is a reworked version of a track 'Like Ships Without Anchors' from the album 'Her Name In A Language Of Stars', cut and edited for my live set, which I used to play a while ago. I found it nearly as enjoyable as original (maybe even more), and decided to share it on my networks.

For the artwork I used a painting of a great Swedish landscape and marine painter Simeon Marcus Larson. I decided to leave it blank and not to use any fonts not to ruin the masterpiece. The painting is called Ångfartyg i solnedgång (English: Steamship in Sunset).

Like Ships Without Anchors

A song from our album "Save Your Season" as Mint Julep.This CD is available now from our shop. http://www.unseen.bigcartel.com/product/mint-julep-save-your-season-cd-pre-order

salt wash of the sea
in the heavy summer rain
i feel you move in softly 
and set me free

the motion of the morning light
carried us in from the black night 
i don't want to feel anything else but you
as you hold me tonight

you say it all the time
why don't we
why don't we

let's escape from this place
you always say to me
there's an end and we can begin again
far from here

a blur of color lit our way
replaced the black and grey
i don't want to be
anywhere else but here
as you breathe me in

you say it all the time
why don't we
why don't we

Delectatio- Epiphany

Track 8 from the recent archive release 'Fragments'
https://straytheories.bandcamp.com/album/fragments

Fragments is a collection of reworked & remastered tracks & live recordings which were composed in 2015.
Each piece was originally created as part of a soundtrack for "Some Thoughts On Mercy” an essay written and read by Ross Gay, part of “Bringing Down the New Jim Crow” a radio documentary series by Chris Moore-Backman.
I have spent time reworking & remixing each section composed for the soundtrack as well as several alternative tracks that were created at the same time. The end result is a 10 track release which captures the atmosphere & inspiration in a new form.

Mercy

I've been a big fan of Joachim's music for a while (as I'm sure listeners of the Blue Dot mixes can tell!) so I was really excited to collaborate on an ambient project. 

We started with a silent, powerful scene from a favourite movie of mine and began layering emotions on top of the imagery to form this meditative piece of music. We hope you enjoy it.
