ODESZA's "Late Night" is a glittering, cosmically influenced instrumental jam, with a retro bass line, reverberating guitar riff, and a Pacific Northwest feel.
Formed in 2012 after meeting at Western Washington University, Mills and Knight's combination of airy dreaminess with textured bass and live percussion has set them apart from the pack, with a craftsman-like approach to their sound, building beats from the ground up. ODESZA's debut LP Summer’s Gone stood out in the world of electronic music as a collection of songs, not just beats. Their latest album In Return earned praise from The FADER, Vice Noisey, and Complex among others, and was followed by a GRAMMY nomination, headline festival appearances and sold out tours across the globe.
In 2012, a striking new voice emerged from the wider surge of electronic music in the U.S.
In an age of manufactured internet buzz and carefully plotted hype, ODESZA’s story was refreshingly authentic: A brilliant new duo unveiled their music on the internet, and the world paid attention.
