Inspired by Chris Isaak and the Violent Femmes, the simple recording is designed to emulate the live Duo performances featuring vocalist Rae Shirer.

In a review of the Sentimental Dreams EP, Rock Blogger Robert Kinsler wrote of the track “…especially ambitious is their own “Lie” with bold harmonies that help propel the epic track on its enticing run.”
