Reincarnation

My Invisible Friend - Endless

Hampshire psychedelic shoegaze trio Is Bliss continue to cause a stir with the release of new EP ‘The Honeycomb Explosion’, released 19th May on celebrated label, Club AC30. 

Having received rave reviews for last year’s debut release ‘Velvet Dreams’, produced by Pat Collier (The House of Love, Primal Scream, Swervedriver), the band’s rise has been swift having formed in late 2015. The band were soon signed by acclaimed London based independent record label Club AC30, a label that has a habit of developing artists from the psych/gaze/electronic & dream-pop genres including such acts as Pinkshiunyultrablast, Ringo Deathstarr and Flyying Colours.

With a shared love of Slowdive, Spacemen 3 and Verve, Is Bliss’s first year has seen the band turn heads with their explosive live shows and have supported the likes of Wolf Alice, Telescopes, Nine Black Alps, Mark Gardener and Robin Guthrie in a whirlwind twelve months. The band have also received radio support from the likes of Lauren Laverne, Tom Ravenscroft and Radcliffe & Maconie at BBC Radio 6 Music along with BBC Introducing and Amazing Radio. 

Building on the success of the band’s debut, ‘The Honeycomb Explosion’ opens with the soporific ‘Someone’ that echoes The Warlocks before giving way to effervescent guitars and wig-out drums.

‘Alive (Baby Come On)’ hypnotizes and mesmerises in equal measure, providing a heavy dose of visceral sound; a spaced-out sonic groove as Stuart pleads ‘I can’t satisfy your love’, to a backdrop of deafening feedback guitar. 

The dreampop of ‘Into A Dream’ glitters 60s-like with guitars that turn into waterfalls of sitar and full on, psych induced vibrations before the mystical and magical ‘Tomorrow’ is a trip into the unknown conjuring up a drug-induced utopia.

The EP closes with ‘Inner Soul’, a hazy, mind-altering trip with Stuart’s vocals immersed under a wall of reverb and fuzzed-up guitars, his vague poetry only adding to the atmosphere of the EP throughout. 

With a support slot lined up with The Jesus and Mary Chain in April plus more live dates and festivals across the UK and Europe throughout 2017, the band’s heavily anticipated debut long player is pencilled in for release later in the year.

Is Bliss are Jimmy Stuart (vox, guitar), Dean Edwards (bass) and Sam Speakman (drums).

Suck it up (radio edit)

NEVER BE THE SAME WHEN THE DAY GOES AWAY
WHEN YOU'RE ALL BY YOUR SELF
NOW ALL YOUR BIG IDEAS GO TO WASTE
'CAUSE THE TIME SPIRALS OUT

MAKE NO MISTAKE
ANTICIPATE
THERE WILL COME A DAY
WHEN IT ALL FADES AWAY


WHEN THE MONEY'S GONE & THE LIGHTS GONE AWAY
THEY'LL BE LOOKING FAR AWAY
TO THE NEXT STAGE OR THE FAD OF THE DAY
WHEN IT'S ON SOMEONE ELSE

HERE FOR TODAY
THINK IT WILL STAY
YOU'VE GOT IT MADE
UNTIL IT ALL FALLS AWAY

NOWADAYS IT SEEMS LIKE THE SQUARES RUN THE SHOW
BUT IN TIME WE'LL COME TO KNOW
TAKES MORE THAN FAME & SOME DIAMONDS ON YOUR CHAIN
TO MAKE OUR SPIRITS SHOW

WHAT'S COOL TODAY
ALL THAT YOU HATE
SOON GONNA CHANGE SO
DON'T THINK THAT YOU KNOW
WHAT'S COOL TODAY
ALL THAT YOU HATE
SOON GONNA CHANGE BECAUSE

EVERYONE KNOWS
