Venture Boi Delivers a Dreamy Escape with "The Narrow Door”

If Morrissey wrote space operas, and Beach House scored the soundtrack, you might get something close to “The Narrow Door,” the latest single from Nashville dream pop artist Venture Boi. The project is the brainchild of Matt Sanderlin, a writer/producer with a gift for storytelling and a taste for the ethereal.

This track plays like a hazy descent into a surreal, metaphorical nightclub—a place where time is fluid, identities blur, and you're not sure what’s real anymore. And that’s exactly the point. “The Narrow Door” isn’t just a song; it’s a narrative, a mood, a mysterious experience meant to be felt as much as it’s heard.

The production floats on shimmering synths, deep bass pulses, and reverb-drenched guitar textures. Sanderlin’s vocals guide the listener like a dream journal read aloud in a whisper. It’s part of a larger concept album that follows a near-death experience and the existential revelations that follow—heavy themes carried on the back of beautiful, intricate arrangements.

Venture Boi has often been compared to Tame Impala and The Smiths, but “The Narrow Door” proves he’s carving his own path—one filled with nostalgia, wonder, and just enough darkness to keep you on your toes.

This is the kind of music you don’t just listen to—you dissolve into it.
