Setting the tone comes “Quiet Of My Mind,” a gorgeous getaway from the anxiousness of our modern world. It dwells in a safe space, free from any stress, noise, and external factors. Linney’s engrossing vocals conjure up vivid images of a dreamlike sanctuary to a simpler, picturesque expanse. Ethereal melodies, subtle strings, and melancholic piano chords help to shade the soundscape while offering a captivating backing that deepens the cinematic appeal. The namesake vocals are repeated in the hook as the track evolves into a bubbling house groove that fuses smooth basslines, crisp drums, and uplifting melodies. The second verse provides a contrast to the tranquility, traveling back to the overstimulated reality that will leave a burning desire to return to the soothing soundbed.
Joining forces with Canadian singer/songwriter Veela, the pair craft a gripping ballad. Veela’s soft delivery mimics the feeling of touching grass, offering a grounding and organic vibe. Her soulful croons paint images of summer love as she attempts to “Bottle It Up.” Romantic emotions swirl under reflective keys and delicate synth thrums. The building emotional whirlwind explodes into an eruption of feel-good melodic bass progressions. The upbeat vocal bends, shimmering synths, and knocking drums create a sense of pure elation. The stripped-back break allows the tension to slowly build before blasting off into another burst of melodic bass brilliance. Closing with echoed vocals conjures a sense of longing for the burning bright emotions previously felt.
“Sanctuary” takes a darker yet supportive tone that fits the thematic direction while expanding upon the sonic palette. Bertie Scott delivers an entrapturing vocal performance that traces gloomy memories and the woes of life. The somber backing matches the lyrical tone and provides an understated score that progresses with icy keys, driving percussion, and shadowy low-end. Constructing a safe haven from the underworld, the lyrics provide shelter from the darkness. The production offers an epic sense of hope and reprieve as uplifting synths part through the clouds with beaming rays of hope.
Bringing the journey to a close is the masterful title track. “Bliss” is a slow-burning work of art that defines progression. Opening with a cinematic soundscape, the stripped-back keys and flowing water create a gentle, heartfelt allure. Rose-colored vocal bends deepen the sonic textures while vibrant drums inject a new sense of life. Smooth bass and upbeat synths are gently layered in, lending the track a blissful vibrance. The midpoint acts as a reset, taking it back to basics for another compelling progressive build-up. Understated, captivating, and ever-evolving, “Bliss” offers an air of pure beauty.
CloudNone shares his outlook on the release, saying, “The ‘Bliss’ EP is really a full-spectrum release for me, and a showcase of the idea that these multiple genres can live in a single body of work together in a cohesive manner.
