About ODESZA

ODESZA returned with their fourth studio album, ‘The Last Goodbye’, released July 22, 2022. Symphonic, vast, and emotionally stirring, ‘The Last Goodbye’ is the duo’s most ambitious album to date. A project rife with brightness and emotion, nostalgic yet rooted in the present, it serves as a sweeping sonic experience that speaks to themes of connection, reminiscence, and the impact we impart on one another. It’s a vivid celebration of the people and moments that have left fingerprints on our existence, echoing throughout the record. The album features Bettye LaVette on the title track, in addition to collabs with The Knocks, Ólafur Arnalds, Julianna Barwick, Izzy Bizu, Charlie Houston, Låpsley, & MARO. As ODESZA, this is Harrison Mills' and Clayton Knight’s most personal record yet, recognized with a nomination for Best Dance/Electronic Album at the forthcoming 65th Annual GRAMMY Awards. It’s a brilliant collection which looks to interweave the past and the present in a euphoric way.

 

With over 5 billion total streams, ODESZA have masterfully reemerged to remind the world what has made Mills and Knight cornerstones of the modern electronic landscape. Their last album, ‘A Moment Apart’, which featured Leon Bridges, Regina Spektor, RY X among others, was not only a commercial success (going gold and debuting at no. 3 on the Billboard 200), but it also earned praise from the likes of NPR, Rolling Stone, Billboard and more.

 

ODESZA has cultivated a diehard fanbase of massive proportions: known for their groundbreaking, awe- inspiring and immersive live performance. ODESZA spent the summer of 2022 touring North America, with 450k+ tickets sold, which included three sold nights in their hometown Seattle, and two sold nights runs in LA, New York, Chicago, and San Francisco for 22,000 people a night. They also have had headline performances at the likes of Coachella, Lollapalooza and more, as well as performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and Conan, and launched their own music festival SUNDARA in Riviera Maya, Mexico.
