This Bliss

AnalogueTrash

Radiate

Change is an almost constant presence in our lives, and its effects can often be profound. It’s a theme that permeates its way through the five songs on Radiate, the new EP from This Bliss.

Indie-pop oriented This Bliss comprises Jess Baggia and Nick Zampiello, a wife and husband duo whose blend of infectious electropop and singer/songwriter stylings is woven into melody-driven songs laden with vintage-sounding analogue synths.

Boston, Massachusetts, based Jess and Nick founded the band back in 2018, releasing their first four records via New Jersey’s Mint400 Records. After a period of self-releasing their music, the duo signed to AnalogueTrash at the end of 2023. 

Jess and Nick draw their musical inspiration from a diverse range of sounds and genres, including Prince, Portishead, Nick Cave and FKA Twigs, framing those influences within the context their own experiences as well as a desire to experiment with sounds and technology to create a sometimes-nostalgic sound.

Though the songs work wonderfully on their own, they also feed into the overall themes of self-discovery, renewal, and catharsis that thread their way through the EP, giving it a very cohesive feel.

One Day

For bands like This Bliss, the modern age isn’t just about creating music, it also involves the challenge of finding a receptive audience in increasingly crowded and splintered online spaces.

The need to constantly be present and push forward to make your art visible helped spark some of the ideas that eventually became the band’s new single, First Takes All. The track is the second single from the band’s Radiate EP which is scheduled for release this September.

This Bliss is Jess Baggia and Nick Zampiello, a wife and husband indie pop duo whose blend of infectious electropop and singer/songwriter stylings come together in the form of melody-driven songs laden with vintage-sounding analogue synths.

Coming together as a band in 2018, they self-released a series of number of well-received singles and albums prior to signing with AnalogueTrash in December 2023. Jess and Nick also own an art gallery and recording studio in Somerville, Massachusetts - the New Alliance Gallery is an anchor for a thriving community of visual and musical artists; very much representing the enduring presence of local art despite ongoing city development and displacement.

One Day exudes the duo’s innate warmth and positivity while remaining grounded in the real world. This quality is exemplified by the cinematic tones of the song’s intro and percussion, though it stays true to This Bliss’ core of electropop and dreampop influences.

The track draws inspiration from Jess and Nick’s own process as creatives in their own right, and their role in helping others express their own artistic selves: “One Day is both a love letter to art and an acknowledgment of how painful it can be to be an artist,” says Jess. “Ultimately, it's about finding your voice.”

She continues, “One Day was a case of joyful songwriting: sometimes the song pours out without much thinking and it's a pleasure. We continue to streamline our production process, and the ease of that workflow is reflected in the final product.” ‌

One Day is accompanied by a stellar downtempo remix by labelmate Debris Discs, aka High Peak (UK) indie-pop and electronica artist James Eary. Stripping down its dreampop themes and accentuating the snare and woozy electronica of the original, James’ refreshed arrangement perfectly underpins and accentuates Jess’ vocal performance.
