ODESZA is an American electronic music duo formed in 2012, known for their distinctive sound that melds dreamy, sun-soaked ambient textures with punchy beats and vibrant melodic elements. Comprising Harrison Mills (CatacombKid) and Clayton Knight (BeachesBeaches), the duo met while attending Western Washington University and quickly forged a musical connection that would take them far beyond campus boundaries. Their stage name pays homage to Mills' uncle's sunken ship, but it is also stylistically connected to the city of Odessa, Ukraine, symbolizing their exploratory and emotive musical voyages.

ODESZA rose to prominence with their first two albums, "Summer's Gone" (2012) and "My Friends Never Die" (2013), but it was their 2014 release, "In Return," that catapulted them to significant acclaim with tracks such as "Say My Name." Their music is characterized by its cinematic flair, marrying textured percussion with ethereal soundscapes, often complemented by vocal contributions from guest artists. Following a consistent trajectory of success and artistic growth, ODESZA's recent works, including the emotionally rich album "The Last Goodbye" and its subsequent remixes, continue to enamor a vast listenership, showcasing an evolution in their sound while remaining true to their signature blend of lush, electronic orchestrations and thought-provoking rhythms.
