VENTS Magazine interviews Nashville electropop cosmonaut Josh Rennie-Hynes, on the heels of his new album, LIGHT/SHADE.

We’re very excited to be speaking today with acclaimed electropop/dreampop artist Josh Rennie-Hynes; holiday greetings and salutations, Josh! Before we dive into the Q&A mosh-pit, could you explain to our ever-inquisitive readers what the electropop/dreampop genre of music is all about? How would you define it to a music aficionado just dipping their toe into that particular music style?

Nice to speak with you. I think dreampop/electropop has electronic elements, synths and drum tracks etc. The dreaminess to me is in the melodies and production. I think the music should transport the listener to some place else. That’s what I tried to achieve myself when I made this album. I wanted it to feel dreamline and ethereal.

VENTS Magazine debuts new single from Shane Rennison, “Drunk,” calling it “a track that centers around feelings of insecurity and pulls the curtain back on Rennison’s ‘90s rock influences.”

Indie-pop songwriter Shane Rennison’s Nice To Meet You EP is an earnest five-track collection of songs that feel like a peek into Rennison’s wide-open heart and his beloved home in the Catskill Mountains of New York. That’s where he made many of the memories that fuel his music, which recalls the craftsmanship of The 1975, the sugary synth highs of Passion Pit and the effortless pop prowess of Harry Styles.

Today we are pleased to premiere rapper, DJ, author, Guinness World Record holder, and new father Megan’s new single “That’s Okay,” a glimpse into what’s probably Ran’s best album yet with Buddy’s Magic Toy Box.

The laid back flow of “That’s Okay” and Mega Ran’s New Orleans jazz-singer chorus is heightened by Kadesh Flow’s trombone. It deals with patience and potentially subconscious microaggressions when it comes to the names of some people of color and folks with tough to pronounce names. PoC will understand this most, and people who haven’t experienced it can learn to empathize with it.

New album Buddy’s Magic Toy Box is out on September 15th.

VENTS Magazine debuts new single and video “Make Me Sick,” from Nashville duo Flarelight, comparing it to “the more driving and melodic Queens of the Stone Age cuts, like if Josh Homme worshipped Robert Smith instead of Iggy Pop.”

Leading off with single “Make Me Sick,” the album recalls the more driving and melodic Queens of the Stone Age cuts, like if Josh Homme worshiped Robert Smith instead of Iggy Pop. The vital drums and pronounced riffs rebel against the melody, creating a tension that finally finds release in the sweltering chorus as Warren intones “You are the drug that makes me sick!”
