The explorative, shoegaze-laced alternative dance music of Mint Julep is the creation of married duo Keith and Hollie Kenniff. With Hollie's ethereal vocals accompanying Keith's glistening keys, guitars, and hooky bass and beats, they fashioned a sound that's both dreamy and polished. After debuting with 2008's more atmospheric Songs About Snow, they committed to a dance-focused approach beginning with 2011's Save Your Season. Keith Kenniff was still actively recording with longer-running projects Helios and Goldmund when they delivered their fourth album, Stray Fantasies, in 2020. The next year's In a Deep and Dreamless Sleep embraced denser, hazier tendencies.
