Blissful Affliction is the debut single from Ten24, an indie-alternative rock quartet based in Wellington, New Zealand. The track is being released on all platforms on May 22nd 2020. With this track, Ten24 showcase their pop underbelly. Fusing their indie-alt rock sensibilities with shimmering synth lines and pop-rock production elements, the band has achieved a level of polish that shows off their catchy hooks and tight grooves. Blissful Affliction was recorded just over a year after Ten24’s formation, and is a testament to the fervent chemistry between the members.
A hard-hitting pop-rock song, Blissful Affliction is full of memorable melodies and lively instrumentals. The song radiates drama, and this, coupled with its dynamic and refined structure, makes for an engaging experience from start to finish. The layering of subtle production elements on this track are such that each successive listen reveals new details of the sonic picture being painted.
Blissful Affliction, as a lyrical piece, deals with the process of coping with a failed relationship, where one must confront both the positive and negative emotions arising from the relationship, in order to move forward. The conclusion of the narrator’s journey in this song is a descent into negative emotion, without providing a resolution. This lack of resolution is intended to pose a question to the listener, as to whether they have fully dealt with failed relationships in their own lives.
