This song makes me physically weak at the knees....gorgeous

Одна из моих любимых песен. Спасибо вам за эти краски и впечатления в моей жизни.

Is playing the same record continuously a medical condition? I need to get checked out...

Chasing Dreams - Swimming Into Fog, Breathing The Mystery

Title track from our  album "Broken Devotion".

LYRICS:
We play it cool
And keep our distance
Slips like water through our hands
We forget how it feels
There’s a ghost inside us
There are hands on your eyes
Spaces in between us
There are places we can’t hide
The heat and the light of this broken devotion
Don’t forget what it’s like, Let me let you go
You stand so quiet next to me
And I see it’s getting dark
It’s something in the air we breathe
And how it keeps us far apart
Put the record on
The wave is cresting beneath us
Our time and consequence
Binding us to fires we burn
In our hearts
The heat and the light
Of this broken devotion
Don’t forget what it’s like
Let me let you go

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.

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 - Dandelion

My wife, Hollie and I (aka Mint Julep) are hard at work on a new album, but in the meantime we decided to offer a brand new track for free.  It is exclusively available through us and will not be on our upcoming album "Broken Devotion".

don't think twice, close your eyes
and break her fall again
feel the words, out of her lips
as she walks out in the rain

hear for once, the way it was
it collides with us
full of fire, in an escape
the fading light, and the waves that break

don't you want to tame her
don't you want to tame her

your soft lips in mine
an island of stars, in the shining light
i get lost in it all the time

the distance in the dark
the places in between us
dreamless as a ghost
still as the air that moves through us

don't you want to tame her
don't you want to tame her

Mint Julep - Tame

One of the first tracks we wrote after a great recording session holed up in Leeds :)

Featured on this beautiful indie film trailer:

And also in this haphazard climbing movie, beautifully shot out in Namibia:

Best listened to after A Mosaic Of Squares...

Suspended In A Sunbeam (Edit)

While writing our forthcoming album, "Broken Devotion", Hollie and I took a bit of a detour to write this song for fun and welcome in the summer. 

Mint Julep on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mintjulepmusic / http://www.unseen-music.com

Forget how we got here
Wake to the melody
And wait with me until it's time to go

In the setting sun we feel it
You know it's not too late
So I think you should stay here with me

From the city to the beach house
With the sky like the sea
And the sea like the sky that lies above me

The salt from the water clings to our lips
And stays with us like last night's kiss
We stand at the edge, draw me into you
Retrace our steps as they wash away

From the city to the beach house
With the sky like the sea
And the sea like the sky that lies above me
