Lyrics: 
Let me disarm you 
I'm not trying to own you 
I just wanna know what it feels like 
To have your body so close 

Let me absolve you 
Of the past that controls you 
I just wanna know what you look like 
Without a weight on your soul 

I know somewhere we can get away
If you wanna find another place love 
Disappear and never leave a trace 
Take you anywhere you want 

So let me disarm you 
There's an army I'm fighting around your heart 
Let me disarm you
Cause baby I just wanna love who you really are 
Who you really are 

Spoken in silence 
Blazing like sirens 
I can bring you out of the darkness 
Into the firey light 

I know somewhere we can get away
If you wanna find another place love 
Disappear and never leave a trace 
Take you anywhere you want 

So let me disarm you 
There's an army I'm fighting around your heart 
Let me disarm you
Cause baby I just wanna love who you really are 
Who you really are 

Let me disarm you 
Let me disarm you

Kaskade - Disarm You ft. Ilsey

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

www.unseen-music.com

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.”

Keith and I completed a cover of Curve's song "Horror Head". Curve was one of my favorite bands as a teenager, and Keith, who I introduced their music to several years ago, agrees with me that this is one of their best songs. I can't think of any other female fronted band that has impressed and inspired me so much. 

LYRICS BY TONI HALLIDAY:
"Fireworks, red and green I can see what they sing, but you are away / box you all in You always smile / Boxing ring / box him in the back of mules / with black almost You can really see, from the inside Across the void There's horror in my head When the blanket is gone From the throne in my castle Where I see the sun from In the comfort of this room The challenge died Remember you and me We laughed 'til we cried"

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

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.

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

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
