Bliss Bliss Bio
There are very few artists that walk their own road and offer up their talents as gifts. With all the market forces that rain down on creatives these days only a few can weather the storm of mediocrity. Bliss Bliss, and one must say Bliss Bliss (say it with me now), is a beacon in the storm. There is a light that emanates from Renee and Lang Bliss that cannot be conjured or fabricated. It is the undeniable presence of musical geniuses. These words are thrown around all the time usually when the reviewer has run out of his or her hip cool lexicon. So if it's over used why does it apply to Bliss Bliss? Let’s unpack it. If a genius is one who sees or hears what others do not or do not recognize then these guys have the mojo. If genius is naming a mood or feeling with such exactitude that playing the song over and over again gives your life clarity then these guys are the Webster dictionary of the pop kingdom. If genius is the creation of a body of work that coheres and reveals a deeper wider more luminous life then these guys have the blessing of naming the primal animals of life. If genius means acknowledging the transcendent but recognizing the luminous darkness that holds it all together then these guys are wizards of the dark night of the soul.
 Sometimes music becomes cinema. Some people call this synesthesia when colors are heard and sounds become light and hue. That is the sound track of Bliss Bliss. These guys are on the money when it comes to tracking their inner world but have this joie de vivre that redeems the sadness, heals the wound, and offers it all up with gratitude.
 That’s it…it is grateful music. It is sound and silence, subtlety and forcefulness that come from the gift of music and not from the music industry or hurried ego. Underneath the sophisticated urban groove and the thick layered voicings of Lang and Renee’s composition run the deep naming of spiritual people who are hoping in spite of, loving in spite of, praying in spite of. That’s what gifted people do…offer their gift in spite of themselves.
 In an age where most of us are formed out of some plastic version of what we dream to be, once in awhile someone comes along and offers us a song or lyric that ties us back together and gives us another day living in the real world. This real world Bliss Bliss inhabits is not filled with easy answers or maudlin emotion. Nor does it offer cliché after musical cliché. It takes a bit of pause to catch the musical breadth of Renee and Lang as they allow us into their eclectic world and musical menagerie. Their music is an homage to what is the best in R & B, jazz and pop, blues and rock. They have thrown it all into their bag of tricks and what has emerged in truly Bliss/full.
 When an artist hears their own voice and stays the course in spite of fear and lack of fame and financial payback, over the years they develop a body of work that becomes their personal narrative. Bliss Bliss has offered us nearly two decades of stories in song that give one a front window into their soul and heart. That is rare. That is a gift. Open it and give thanks.
