“[ODESZA’s] new jam, ‘My Friends Never Die,’ feels like crashing down a waterfall on a bouquet of roses with Flying Lotus as your chauffeur. These are stoner jams to smack your bubblegum to – full of hip-hop grooves and sunshine… with its big, opulent synths, pop vocals and obvious crossover appeal, you can bet these guys are going to be the next Bondax or Disclosure” – Thump

PRAISE FOR ODESZA:

 

“Harrison Mills and Clayton Knight have spent the last couple years creating dreamy instrumental hip-hop as Catacombkid and BeachesBeaches, respectively. And while Catacombkid’s late-night beauty feels counterpoint to Beaches’ sunny bliss – together, as ODESZA, they create a world where both exist in gorgeous harmony.” – Stereogum

 

“ODESZA’s…’IPlayYouListen’…fits firmly in the goopy electro-camp of acts like Purity Ring and Chvrches, where ebullient production floats on a stormy, synthy sea, where bright notes reflect even brighter off the water” – The FADER

“Accented by a pretty piano riff, the graceful track [‘Home’] takes its time while taking your brain on a calm ride, eventually getting comfy under a sexy bass-and-snap drumbeat.” – Interview Magazine

“Their self-released LP, Summer’s Gone, captivates listeners with its rich and varied sound. Somewhere between electronic, pop and hip-hop, ODESZA’s contagious sound is completely approachable and complex” – Foam Magazine

“ODESZA’s 45-minute set soundtracked what is the most awe-inspiring event to witness at a concert: audience members chucking all inhibition behind. Countless people had this similar sort of secret, barely there smile upon their lips while dancing with themselves… And who was responsible for this? [Clayton] Knight and [Harrison] Mills, who shared the same smile as the audience, though mixed with determination to keep the mood colorful as the alternating warm and cool-colored stage lights flashing upon them. That’s the vibe they have aptly dubbed Summer’s Gone.” – FILTER Magazine
