On their second album Broken Devotion, Portland-based duo Mint Julep instill their lush and gauzy, synth-centric brand of pop music with a raw and powerful emotionalism. The follow-up to their 2011 debut Save Your Season (praised as “melodically sophisticated and dreamy” by the NME), Broken Devotion came to life over the course of four years, with Mint Julep reaching a new level of lyrical precision while easing into more lavishly textured, intricately layered arrangements. Throughout Broken Devotion, multi-instrumentalist/producer Keith Kenniff (also known for his work as ambient indie-electronic act Helios) and his wife Hollie Kenniff (Mint Julep’s vocalist and lyricist) explore the many bright and dark dimensions of love, a tension that’s masterfully embodied on the album’s title track. Urgent yet ethereal, “Broken Devotion” merges driving rhythms and hazy guitar tones as Hollie’s hypnotic vocal work achingly captures the unraveling of a romance (“There’s a ghost inside us/There are hands on your eyes/Spaces in between us/There are places we can’t hide”). Despite the moody atmosphere of the album, much of Broken Devotion was born from a certain lighthearted spirit within Mint Julep’s creative partnership. Lead single “White Hot Heart,” for instance, began as a playful experiment in retro electro-pop but eventually mutated into an airy and shimmering, synth-laced number that’s timeless in melody. Also featuring a gorgeously sprawling cover of When In Rome’s late-‘80s new-wave hit “The Promise,” Broken Devotion shifts from the frenetic energy of beat-driven tracks like “Incinerate” to the downtempo drama of songs like “Slow Spiral” with delicate grace. Forming Mint Julep in 2007, the Kenniffs originally had modest intentions for the band. “The project really just started out as a way to get my wife to sing, because I knew that she could but was kind of shy about it,” says Keith. Though the duo initially mined much influence from early-‘90s shoegaze, Mint Julep gradually shaped their sound by drawing inspiration from electronic music and from their shared affection for rough-edged music of varying genres (industrial for Hollie, punk rock for Keith). “It took us a while to suss out whether this was something we were just going to have fun with, or if we’d actually release our music,” Keith says. “But we ended up keeping at it, and now we’re at the point where we’ve created something with its own sound that’s very unique to us.” Noting that “it’s been great for Hollie and me to bond over making music, and to have that music feed into our relationship,” Keith points out that Mint Julep have found an even more enduring purpose in creating both Broken Devotion and its predecessor. “Writing music can be stressful, but there’s that joy that comes from creating something that you know you’ll have for a really long time,” he says. “We can finish an album and move on, and then go back years later and let the songs tell us what was happening then, what we were feeling. It’s a cool way to mark all these very specific moments in our lives together.”

Girl,

From the new album 'Lifenotes' due Sept 2011 on Drifting Falling

You're So Very Far Away

Vanish in the world around me
Leaving ash and bone
My crown of thorns that shows no mercy
But its my own
I grace these walls with all my failures
What have I become?

I think its time for my forgiveness
Lick these wounds to heal
Im losing faith, the silent poison
Pain Id like to feel
I know its time
Lay down, surrender
Someone take control

Cause Im afraid to love
Cause Im afraid Ill leave
Im living with these lies
That only I believe

And I dont want to walk
But I dont want to run
Cause Im afraid of failing
In front of everyone

Hold me down and hurt my feelings
I wont do the same
Ill cry in silent disappointed
Taking all the blame
But darkest hour always finds me
Pulling far away

Cause Im afraid to win
Cause I dont wanna lose
And Im afraid of falling
Under harsh review

And Im afraid to live
And Im too tired to try
I hide behind these shadows
Turn off all the lights

This never ending longing feeling
Waiting to be loved
I still believe in In forever
But it never comes

Im afraid to love
Cause Im afraid Ill leave
Im living with these lies
That only I believe

And Im afraid to walk
But I dont wanna run
And Im afraid of hurting
Myself and everyone.

LYRICS
Catch glimpses in the dim light
See your eyes in the twilight spaces
The dawn’s like a fading dream
Slowly going higher
Finding things that remind me of you

Will you say it like you mean it
Or will you hide behind your silence
Will you say that you feel fine
When you seem so closed off
When you seem so closed off all the time

Cold winds make me shiver
I hear you whisper
Stay near to me
Cold eyes in the mirror
Flush with fever
More than ever before

There’s a purity to your gaze
That makes me fall so deeply
But there’s no landing soft
And my heart keeps bleeding
It keeps on bleeding out

Winter’s near and it’s beating in my heart now
There’s a velocity to your love
It moves the stars above
It feels like I’m losing you
It feels so much like I’m losing you

Cold winds make me shiver
I hear you whisper Stay near to me
Cold eyes in the mirror 
Flush with fever
More than ever before

#Kabir's words have touched us all in many ways. Welcome this #NewYear #2016 with Sounds of Isha's rendition of his timeless poetry - Yugan Yugan Hum yogi.

Follow Sounds of Isha on facebook and @soundsofisha on twitter for regular updates.

O enlightened one, 
I have been a yogi
in age after age,
I neither come nor go,
I cannot be obliterated,
I revel in the primordial sound.
 
Everywhere around me,
I see only community,
Everywhere, only carnival,
I am in all, all are in me,
I am utterly alone.
 
I am the mystic, I the illumination
I am the wordless, I the speaker
I don human form, divine form,
Sometimes I sport the formless,
There is none but I  
Frolicking within myself.     
 
Kabir says, O wanderer,
All desire gone,
I dance within my own hut --
Spontaneous reveler
Stirred only by the winds
Of my own freedom.

Alone, I wept a lie,
I long to know, how you came by your broken eye.
Alive, you brought me low,
In the river I'll stand to know.
