Solitude Is Bliss is a Thai alternative rock band formed in Chiang Mai, Thailand in 2013. Currently signed to Minimal Records, the band originated as a university project before evolving into a professional music group.
Musical Style and Recognition
Solitude Is Bliss is known for their distinct sound, which incorporates elements of indie rock, shoegaze, and psychedelic rock. Their music videos are equally unconventional and have garnered attention for their creative and sometimes controversial nature. Recognized as one of Thailand's most innovative and exciting bands, Solitude Is Bliss consistently challenges and rewards listeners with their music, pushing boundaries and making a significant impact on the Thai music scene.
Band Members
The band consists of five individual members:
Genre
Solitude Is Bliss, though rooted in alternative rock, incorporates elements of classic 1960s rock, Britpop, and folk, resulting in a distinctive and multifaceted sound.
History
Since their university days, the musical group Solitude is Bliss has maintained a consistent association with Minimal Records in 2013. Originally formed under the name Thongkwao, the band underwent a stylistic and compositional shift, ultimately evolving into Solitude is Bliss, a band dedicated to alternative rock.
The band's name itself draws inspiration from a song by Tame Impala, signifying "solitude as the ultimate form of happiness." This concept reflects a desire for freedom from the complexities and chaos inherent in society.
Solitude is Bliss' songwriting encompasses a diverse range of themes, including love, interpersonal relationships, social class structures, and even political commentary. Their music, though genre-bending, resonates with listeners due to its unique ability to utilize storytelling to reflect contemporary societal issues.
The band's debut extended play (EP), titled Montage EP, released in 2013, garnered significant attention due to its unconventional cover art featuring a young man disrobing in a forest. This, coupled with the popularity of the song "04.00 A.M.," propelled Solitude is Bliss into the spotlight.
The 2014 Thai coup status significantly impacted the band members. This event prompted each member to publicly express their views on the situation. The experience ultimately served as a source of inspiration, influencing the band's decision to incorporate political themes into their music.

Albums
Album: Montage EP(2013)
Album: Her Social Anxiety EP(2015)
Album: นกกระจอก(2017)
The title "Luke" from the album "นกกกระจอก" (translated as "The Common Myna") was inspired by the Star Wars’s character Luke Skywalker. Thanaphon, the creator (or artist), explains that Luke Skywalker embodies the qualities of a leader who guides others towards a positive outcome, which is a central theme within the song's lyrics.
Album: Please Verify That You Are Not a Robot (2019)
Released in 2019, “Please Verify That You Are Not a Robot” marked a thematic shift for the band. The album delves into the concept of identity, exploring both the internal and external forces that shape it. The band examines the tension between authenticity and imposed identities, questioning the source of emotions and experiences. This introspective approach reflects a move away from solely outward-looking observations, as seen in the band's earlier work.
The songwriting process for the album is characterized by a deep interrogation of the creative impulse. The band ponders the purpose of music creation, considering the motivations behind writing for specific audiences or narratives. Additionally, the album incorporates political themes, further enriching the overall complexity compared to previous releases.
