Big Bliss

Big Bliss is the Brooklyn-based brainchild of brothers Cory and Tim Race, featuring Rose Blanshei (PRIMA) and Dan Peskin (Grim Streaker) on bass and guitar, respectively. The band melds harmonic post punk grooves with art rock sensibilities all propped up on the pillars and hooks of melodic pop structure. Their sound is at once melancholic, tense, driving, noisy, and ultimately uplifting, laced with lyricism that ruminates on anxiety, grief, addiction, recovery, devotion, and heartache. Framing these themes is the social ennui unique to generations brought up in our technologically ravaged and increasingly fragile world.

Their 2018 debut LP At Middle Distance released to acclaim from Billboard, The Big Takeover, Aquarium Drunkard and more. Several years of heavy show schedules and relentless touring led to the band being recognized by Oh My Rockness as “NYC’s Hardest Working Band” in 2017, as well as regular appearances at SXSW through 2019.

In August of 2023, the band will release their long-awaited sophomore album, Vital Return, on Good Eye Records. The album captures the band channeling their love for R.E.M., New Order, Yo La Tengo, and C86 in addition to the classic twilight of post punk acts like the Cure and Echo & the Bunnymen. However, it decidedly looks ahead; its themes document a fight for sobriety, moving through the loss of the brothers’ father, coping with collective and generational trauma, and finally seeking out the emotional/spiritual tools needed for us all to rebuild in our current moment in time.
