Odesza Information

ODESZA's critically acclaimed third album, A Moment Apart, marks the next step in the evolution of production duo Harrison Mills and Clayton Knight, who have been making music together since their college days at Western Washington University. They began their meteoric journey in 2012 with Summer's Gone, an album they completed near the end of their tenure at Western. It was followed by 2014's In Return, which debuted at the top of Billboard's Dance/Electronic charts and featured gold single "Say My Name. A remix of the track by RAC was later nominated for a Grammy in 2016. In the course of that five-year span, they've gone from ground zero to selling out large arenas, all without the benefit of mainstream press or radio airplay. They've built their appeal through word of mouth and streaming, plus a unique live presentation featuring an 11-piece ensemble that includes a horn section and a marching-band drumline. A Moment Apart moves into expanded sonic and psychic territory, seamlessly balancing organic and layered synthetic sounds, creating a dreamy, often stirring hybrid that owes as much to Motown and '60s surf music as it does to electronic forebears such as Four Tet, M83, Gorillaz and Bonobo. Mills and Knight have always been leaders in the revolution of indie electronic music, encompassing a wider, more melodic musical palette and incorporating their own instrumental expertise. On A Moment Apart they take their eclecticism one step further, using a stellar range of singers, including Regina Spektor, Leon Bridges, and RY X.
