Fireflies

Fireflies is Lisle Mitnik. He grew up in the tundras of New England playing classical piano and one day moved to California to go to school and decided to start writing songs. He bought a portastudio and started recording, combining his love for lo-fi indie recordings of the 1980s and 90s with his unrefined knowledge of classical arrangement. He tries to craft each song into a tiny snow-globe-sized universe you can curl up in and get lost for a little while. Fireflies is also the name of a pop-punk band from New York City who offer plenty of group photos on their MySpace. The Fireflies were also a doo-wop group from Philadelphia. Formed in 1957, they lasted for a decade before disbanding in 1967. fireflies were also a Post Hardcore/Shoegaze group from Champaign, Illinois, active from 2004-2007.
