This Bliss

Boston, Massachusetts

This Bliss is an evocative electronic-pop duo based in Boston, MA, comprised of singer-songwriter Jess Baggia and multi-instrumentalist/producer Nick Zampiello. With a foundation in analog synthesizers, drum machines, and layered textures, they craft emotionally resonant soundscapes that blend modern nostalgia with striking pop sensibilities. Their storytelling approach—“indie pop through the lens of a storyteller”—imbues their music with substance and character, supported by Baggia’s dynamic vocals and Zampiello’s textured production. Critics have praised their work across releases like Retroshade and Radiate, noting how they marry accessible hooks with deeply atmospheric sound:

“pandemic-proof,” “major bad bitch energy,” “mesmeric, pulsating slice of excellent new electro synthwave music.”

Beyond their sonic creations, Jess and Nick co-own and operate The New Alliance Gallery and recording studio, a vibrant Boston-based art hub that supports a broad range of visual and musical artists, fostering resilience in the face of ongoing urban development and displacement. They also champion Synth‑tember, an immersive event that merges interactive visual art with live electronic performance—highlighting their commitment to innovation, community, and the synthesis of art and technology.

Whether through their immersive audio-visual shows or community-forward gallery, This Bliss continues to redefine how art connects and transforms.

1. Crystallized (444Hz)

This passage explores the tension between a fractured past and the search for clarity and meaning. It reflects a desire to break free from superficial influences and the noise of a disconnected, digital world. Amid confusion and lost ideals, there's a yearning to return to something timeless and true—where thought and spirit are fully aligned. It asks, with quiet urgency, where the real light of authenticity and purpose can still be found.

2. Lux Aeterna (444)

This track speaks to the enduring power of inner strength and the hope that our efforts, when rooted in purpose, can bring light to others. It’s a call to remain steadfast in the face of darkness, trusting that perseverance can illuminate the path for those who feel lost. Ultimately, it reflects a deep longing for unity, guidance, and the kind of resilience that inspires collective healing.
