After cutting their teeth playing the Chicago indie club scene several years back, Peppermint Heaven aka Juno (Vocals, Keyboards) and Spark (Vocals, Bass, Drums) separately made the long trek from Chicago to LA, eventually winding up together in the summer of 2011. There they began to create their own tasty brand of indie pop, replete with heavenly harmonies, Juno’s delicious keyboard hooks and Spark’s inventive bass ‘n’ beats. Peppermint Heaven found a home at indie-band playground The Bedrock in LA’s Echo Park, and began the process of honing their sound.
After a wintry trip to London in early 2013, the boys decided that the UK would be the perfect launching pad for the band. This made perfect sense, as many of their influences hail from the UK (Tears For Fears, Pet Shop Boys, Simple Minds, New Order, Howard Jones and Psychedelic Furs to name a few).
Peppermint Heaven released The Delicious EP last year which consist of a collection of a remix's from their two original tracks 'Into Gold' and 'So Unbelievable'.

The remixes vary between producers but they had great success in the King Of Spins DJ charts reaching number 8 in the club charts. The two tracks were remixed by Almighty, Buzzjunkies and Mike Rizzo... you can listen to the EP on the PH soundcloud.

However i believe the duo have come back stronger than ever and have recently shared they're new tracks, 'Plenty of Time' , 'In and Out Of You' and 'Karmageddon' on they're soundcloud.

The MotoBlanco remis of 'Plenty Of Time' has been shared on the PH SoundCloud.

I'm in two minds if i prefer it over this Full Intention Mix???

https://soundcloud.com/pepperminthea...me-moto-blanco

However i believe these are the best collection of remixes the LA synthpop duo have released to date.... This clearly shows from the response they've had on there Twitter page and the airplay Juno/Sparky have had on the UK radio scene.

Newish track from the PH band.

Great synth-pop song, with some lush harmonies!!

Almost reminds me of a song from 'Flight Of The Conchords'
