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

Mint Julep - Twilight Still

Letting You Go

It doesn't feel right
I can't believe it
It doesn't feel right
I can't believe it

If it's not from my heart
I don't want it
If it's not from my heart
I don't want it

From our album "Broken Devotion" out February 12th 2016. Mint Julep is Hollie Kenniff & Keith Kenniff (aka Helios, Goldmund).

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.”

Shine (from the EP ‘Adorn’)

The rivers flow, the rivers flow 
Around us for miles
The pounding waves, the pounding waves
Have taken me away

To shine, to shine, to shine brighter
To shine, to shine farther
To shine, to shine brighter
To shine, to shine farther

We had eyes the deepest green
We were dreaming of the forest
But the years have passed
Passed us by
And we have lost the focus

(chorus)

I am the breeze and I’m lifting you out
I’m the autumn leaf that brings you back to me
I am the breeze and I’m lifting you out
I’m the autumn leaf that brings you back to me
