This Bliss Bio

We are This Bliss, a husband and wife duo (Nick Zampiello and Jess Baggia) based in Boston, MA. Our take on electronic music is evocative and content-driven, with both modern and throwback elements, featuring our love for analog synthesizers and drum machines with an inherent pop sensibility.

We own and operate an art gallery and recording studio in Boston, MA. The New Alliance Gallery is a community of visual and music artists representing the enduring presence of local art despite ongoing city development displacement.

quotes

“Vocalist Jess Baggia and multi-instrumentalist Nick Zampiello have a way of making music that’s direct and expansive in simultaneous fashion. Their latest Radiate EP that came out on September 13 is one of the numerous excellent examples of how they exhibit their craft.” -Rob Duguay, Culture Beat

“This Bliss has proved it’s pandemic-proof… the Boston electronic-pop duo of Jess Baggia and Nick Zampiello has released its most delicious, danceable and diverse album in ‘Retroshade’” -Jed Gottlieb, Boston Herald

“Simply put, this song has major bad bitch energy. Listening to it is an act of self love.” -The Lowell Spin

"...a mesmeric, pulsating slice of excellent new electro synthwave music..." -AIM Records

"Don’t call it a laptop project. Hailing from the greater Boston area, rockers This Bliss fuse affinities for electronics and pure songwriting to form a future-forward sound. The shimmering, whirring track engulfs you in heavy electronica in a pop style similar to CHVRCHES but more atmospheric." -Impose Magazine

"...[T]heir debut full length Forensic Styles showed its vibrant face September of this year, and it’s been a staple in our listening rotation since. The new album sounds like a more electronic version of Portishead’s Dummy with an anti-pop aura... As mesmerizing as any trip-hop and as listener-friendly as any pop, with Easter eggs of guitar driven rock hidden throughout, This Bliss are a truly unique and listenable trio with something for everyone." -Trevor McSweeney, Studio 52

"At this late date, it’s near impossible to invent a new genre. Enter The Bliss and what frontwoman Jess Baggia calls “true grime.” On the band’s debut disc, “Forensic Styles” (out Sept. 14), Baggia and crew blend such U.K. styles as grime and trip hop with a film noir feel. Start with the track “Make It Real,” where Baggia’s cool vocals slink and sway over electro beats and tremolo guitar." -Jed Gottlieb, Boston Herald

"[This Bliss] have lived up to the early promise and hype with another strong single called “Believe.” The track finds a confident middle ground between shimmering electronic-pop and heavy-beat alt-R&B, and sets an intriguing tone for This Bliss’ debut album, titled Forensic Styles and billed as “a cinematic dreamscape that explores the world of trip-hop and electronica—through the lens of a crime novelist.” -Michael Marotta, Vanyaland
