Indie Pop from Dioneesus

Pittsburgh-based artist Dennis McGrath creates genre-bending music under the Dioneesus moniker. Coming from a hip hop starting point, he wraps his music with alternative pop and rock stylings to constantly evolve his sound and offer something entirely new with each release.

Originally working on various projects in the rock music scene, his artistic vision has gradually shifted towards more electronic aesthetics. Refusing to be boxed in to any one genre or style, with each new work he tears down any existing bias and starts from scratch, framing every release as its own concept album allowing them to standalone while also tying them together via his distinct and recognisable sonic output.

With an aim to inspire and encourage looking at the world from new perspectives, the Dioneesus project oozes love and passion and has an optimistic outlook at its core. Making his introduction in 2020 with the debut album 2020 Vision, he’s since dropped a plethora of well-received tracks and now brings us his latest work with his brand new single titled “Lolita”.

Linking up with guest singer Nandita Mahesh, on “Lolita” the two artists trade vocal lines on a subtly grooving downtempo indie pop outing. Written as a story about new romance and love at first sight, both Dioneesus and Nandita offer the different perspectives of male and female experience to create a heart-felt and thoughtful song.

With a laid back hip hop beat and minimalistic arrangement, the vocals are given space to float delicately in an airy atmosphere on a captivating song full of moving sentiments and alluring melodic writing.
