Bliss n Eso have announced their second album for 2025, The Moon (The Dark Side), and shared a collaboration with Grinspoon.
A month after hitting #1 on the ARIA Australian Albums Chart with their eighth album, The Moon (The Light Side), the Australian hip-hop group has revealed they’re back for more. Kicking off the new album campaign with Chemical Heart (Geed Up), sampling Grinspoon and rapping over the beloved Aussie rock song, Bliss n Eso continue to showcase their versatility.
Picking up where its predecessor left off, The Moon (The Dark Side) will be released on Friday, 3 October, via Flight Deck/Mushroom Music. You can pre-order/pre-save the album here.
“We’re super stoked to announce our 2nd album for 2025: THE MOON (THE DARK SIDE),” Bliss n Eso commented in a statement. “Albums are like movies to us, and this new one is the epic sequel to the album we dropped earlier this year with THE MOON (THE LIGHT SIDE), where we take the listener deeper into space and time on a wild ride with us. Get ready... cuz it’s time to orbit to the dark side of the moon!”
Of their reimagining of Chemical Heart, the group added, “When we first heard Chemical Heart back in the day it immediately stood out from other rock songs at the time - this is because of the use a sampled break beat that was looped over the iconic guitar line - something rarely used in traditional rock.
“For us as hip-hop artists, this really resonated with us as the breakbeat is core to the essence of hip-hop that we grew up on. So, the idea to flip it up came naturally to us as we could already hear how rap would work seamlessly with the song.

“When Grinspoon gave us their blessing to sample the song years later, we knew we had something seriously special. Bringing our raps and modern-day hip-hop production to this classic just fit perfectly… Seriously can’t wait to play this banger live!”
