Bliss n Eso Release New Single 'Know Yourself' + Tour News
Credit: Dean Hammer
It is with great excitement that Bliss n Eso today release their monster 7th studio album The Sun, with a spotlight on the cinematic and uplifting new track ‘Know Yourself (feat. Fergus James)’. The trio are also thrilled to have yesterday announced a huge 29-date national album tour, that will see them play shows across regional and metro areas in every Australian state and territory throughout Jan - Apr 2022.
An album that provides solace in this age of disquiet, The Sun thematises contemplation, healing, and fortitude across its 12 explosive tracks. Latest offering ‘Know Yourself’ featuring Armidale up-and-comer Fergus James is the epitome of the positivity that flows through The Sun, this time looking to the past as Bliss recalls how, as a kid he was bullied. "In ‘Know Yourself’ I'm an older version of myself speaking to the younger version of myself and saying, 'Hey, everything's gonna be cool, man – just know who you are as a person and don't let any of that get to you, because you're going to look back on that and laugh.'"
Similarly, 'Daddy's Caddy' is an ode to Bliss and Eso's respective partners, while the poetic, piano laden 'Lost With You' (spotlighting dynamic electro-popster BOI) extols unpretentious pleasures and domestic tranquillity. Of course, there is also single ‘Good People’ with ARIA Hall of Famer Kasey Chambers, where Bliss n Eso address the value in strong support networks. "The song is about that really fundamental, really strong inner-circle of friends and family that you have that comes together and rallies around you at times of despair and adversity to help you get through it," Bliss says. "It's a testament and it's a celebration of those good people in your life."
The Sun is the massive follow up to 2017's critically-acclaimed ARIA #1 album Off The Grid, which featured the trio’s triple-platinum smash-hit single ‘Moments (feat. Gavin James)’ (over 60+ million streams and winner of ARIA’s Best Music Video Award). With their last three albums debuting at #1, selling close to half a million records in Australia alone and landing various prestigious awards and accolades, The Sun sees them return to the forefront with an album that nods to their biggest hits while ultimately transcending era and bridging generational divides.
The band are hugely disappointed that the 'Send It Tour' was unable to go ahead as scheduled but are psyched to be returning with live shows in 2022. In what is a truly national tour, the group will take their electric energy and unmatchable flow to audiences in every Australian state and territory throughout January to April.
The Sun is out now and tickets for 'The Sun Tour' go on sale to general public Monday 6 September.
