Hampshire trio Is Bliss release their new EP THE HONEYCOMB EXPLOSION’ via London based independent record label Club AC30, the label responsible for nurturing the likes of Pinkshinyultrablast and Ringo Deathstarr. Is Bliss just got off tour with The Jesus & Mary Chain and will be a Great Escape this year.
We are delighted to have the premiere of their new video for the forthcoming single ‘Into a Dream.’ Its sitar splashed, swirling 60s pysch rock sound coupled with the cinematography takes us back to delighting at the nascent videos by slowdive, Primal Scream, Stone Roses and Spiritualized on the chart show back in the early 90s. But these scamps have tapped into their nuggets collections and produced a sound that drags the Electric Prunes into 2017. Its very good and most importantly makes us feel like dancing, care to join us?
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. As well as the EP they have more live dates and festivals across the UK and Europe throughout 2017, see below, the band’s heavily anticipated debut long player is pencilled in for release later in the year.
