Four years on and still in love

It's been nearly four years now since I first listened to a Fireflies song and instantly fell in love. It was the start of a fascination that has only kept growing since. It's also been nearly four years since I first intended to begin writing here. So how come I never got around to it? There are many answers to this question, still deep in my heart I would not know why. Several Fireflies albums, EPs and compilation songs later: all of them lovely and dreamy and best described in Lisle Mitnik's own words: "I try to craft each song into a tiny snow-globe-sized universe you can curl up in and get lost for a little while."
He has recently compiled a collection of demos and unreleased songs called At Home, which is available via Bandcamp at a price of your choice. What better moment could I wait for to finally write my first post?

You can find most Fireflies songs on Bandcamp, some of them are free downloads.
