The Seattle-based duo, Harrison Mills and Clayton Knight also known as Odesza, conveys a more profound, emotional sound through gleaming synth lines and euphoric melodies. In view of that sort of impact on their listeners, when they announce something new, it’s not taken lightly.
The duo uncovers a new world tour, A Moment Apart, accompanied by their new album on Counter Records launching in September.
The album collection will be highlighting Leon Bridges, Regina Spektor, and RY X, making a varied blend that characterizes Odesza‘s lively spectrum. Odesza hinted this coming as they debuted some of their new music, new production and visuals in their most recent show at Red Rocks recently.
And now for a quick word from Odesza about the project:
This project has been a long time in the making and we are so excited to share it with you.
In lieu, of these abundant announcements, they release two new singles that will be apart of their 16-track album.
Odesza introduces us to ‘Meridan’ and ‘Corners of the Earth’. ‘Corners of the Earth’, expands upon delicate, piercing vocals by RY X through acoustic like synthesizers, and synchronized vocals joining in progressively through the track.
With ‘Meridian’ loaded with cadenced, throbbing drums and powerful vocals laid on top of an abundance of harmonic notes, it is a clear stamp of Odesza melodies.
As Odesza takes on their world tour, they will be headlining their biggest venues of their career which will include stops at the Staples Center in Los Angeles and Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Joining the duo on their tour on the North American end will involve Sofi Tukker, including Foreign Collective artists like Chet Porter, Kasbo and Louis Futon.

For the die-hard fans like myself, get to know the lyrics for ‘Line of Sight’ featuring WYNNE & Mansionair:
Over my shoulder at the sun
And it’s an open door
End of my line of sight once more
It’ll all be fine this time
I don’t learn, no I don’t learn
‘Cause you always seemed so kind
And I don’t learn, no I don’t learn
It’ll all be fine this time
And I don’t learn, no I don’t learn
And I already know
You know I could learn
You know I could learn
And I already know, I already
And I already know
You know I could learn
You know I could learn
You know I could learn
I turn full circle round and round
So will you help me down (help me down)
Come grab my hand for solid ground
It’ll all be fine this time
I don’t…
