Today, American music duo ODESZA announce their new album, The Last Goodbye, which features Bettye LaVette, Izzy Bizu, Julianna Barwick, Låpsley, Ólafur Arnalds and The Knocks.
Harrison Mills and Clayton Knight have returned to remind the world of what has made them cornerstones of the modern electronic landscape.
Symphonic, vast, and emotionally stirring, The Last Goodbye is the duo’s most ambitious album to date. Nostalgic yet rooted in the present, the album is interspersed with personal audio clips from home video footage, hypnotherapy sessions and even the voices of the duo’s parents.
As the duo’s most personal record to date, it’s a brilliant collection that looks to interweave the past and the present in a euphoric way.
ODESZA said of their forthcoming release:
‘Over the past few years we’ve been able to reflect on who we are, what it means to do what we do, and in the end, who we are doing this for. We became focused and inspired by the impact our families and friends have imprinted on us and how we want to continue to echo that out as we move through this life. We found comfort in the fact that those who we love stay with us, that they become intrinsically part of us, in a way.
Is there ever a really a Last Goodbye? We don’t think there is. So, from us to you. The Last Goodbye, the album.’
The Last Goodbye is a sweeping sonic experience.
