About Odesza

In the ever-evolving landscape of electronic music, Odesza stands out as a beacon of innovation, artistry, and unparalleled live performances. Formed in 2012 by Harrison Mills (CatacombKid) and Clayton Knight (BeachesBeaches), the duo quickly rose from their humble beginnings at Western Washington University to international acclaim. Their name, inspired by a ship owned by Mills’ uncle that sank, symbolizes their journey of exploration and depth in music. Odesza’s sound, a lush blend of electronic beats, organic instrumentation, and haunting vocals, transcends traditional genre boundaries, offering listeners a unique auditory experience.

Odesza’s discography reads like a roadmap through the evolution of electronic music over the past decade. Their debut album, “Summer’s Gone” (2012), introduced their signature sound, a mix of dreamy synths, crisp percussion, and ethereal samples, setting the stage for what was to become a monumental career. It was their follow-up album, “In Return” (2014), that truly catapulted them into the spotlight. Tracks like “Say My Name” and “Sun Models” not only dominated the electronic music charts but also showcased their ability to meld vocal harmonies with their distinct sound, creating anthems that resonated across festivals worldwide.

Their third album, “A Moment Apart” (2017), further solidified Odesza’s place in the music world. With hits like “Higher Ground” and “Line Of Sight,” the album earned them two Grammy nominations, marking a significant recognition of their talent and influence. This album, in particular, demonstrated their growth as artists, weaving more complex narratives and textures into their music.

If you like Odesza’s music, then their live show is definitely something to add to your bucket list. It’s a sensory journey that merges music, visual art, and technology in a way that feels both intimate and grandiose. Their performances are known for stunning visuals, high-tech lighting designs, and live instrumentation that includes drum lines and brass ensembles.

Their 2018 “A Moment Apart” tour set new standards for live electronic performances, featuring a visual and auditory spectacle that included drones forming patterns in the sky, a testament to their innovation and creativity on stage.

Odesza’s journey from college dorm rooms to headlining major festivals around the world is a great story in the music industry. Their ability to continually evolve while staying true to their original sound has earned them a dedicated fanbase and their shows typically sell out quickly all around the world.
