46bliss is a electronic pop trio from New York, and unlike like some of their peers the music they create is intriguing and beguiles your ear rather than trying to take it over by a full on assault.

Clare Veniot’s voice reminds me of a cross between Imogen Heap and Darren Hays (go on have another listen to the chorus of “In A Long Time”, and then tell me I’m wrong) and provides a balance and focus to her partners music, vocalist, programmer and keyboardist David Cooper and electronic drummer Jack Freudenheim.

46bliss is best known for their contribution to the soundtracks of Veronica Mars and CSI-NY, their singles “The Way You Are” and “Desire Give Way” both made waves on Internet pop charts and the press took notice. Billboard magazine called their music “hypnotic… an engaging mélange of percolating rhythms, taut melodies and poetic lyrics.” … A haunting track from their repertoire, “In A Long Time,” was a winner in The International Songwriting Competition in 2004.

I picked “In a Long Time” because I had played it three more times than “Joan Of Arc“, it was really hard to choose between them. You really should go to the MySpace site and just let the four songs on offer loop over and over again. There is so much going on in these mixes and arrangements.

Very Highly Recommended.
