The Last Goodbye is set to arrive on July 22 and will be the GRAMMY-nominated duo’s most ambitious release yet. In a recent elease, the project is described as being a record “rife with brightness and emotion, nostalgic yet rooted in the present, it serves as a sweeping sonic experience that speaks to themes of connection, reminiscence and the impact we impart on one another. It’s a vivid celebration of the people and moments that have left fingerprints on our existence, echoing throughout the record.”
The two musicians noted, “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.”
The group’s third single from the upcoming album, “Love Letter,” featuring The Knocks arrived today. The track follows the previous singles “The Last Goodbye” featuring Bettye LaVette and “Better Now” featuring MARO.
The Knocks shared, “this song has had a wild ride! It was originally started about 5 years ago and went through many versions before ODESZA took it to its final form. We always knew there was something really special about it. It was one of those ideas we kept coming back to and being frustrated by because we knew it was amazing but we couldn't get it totally right. This new version blew our minds and we felt like it had finally found its rightful home. The rest is history.”
The forthcoming project will also boast features from Låpsley, Ólafur Arnolds, Julianna Barwick, Izzy Bizu, and Charlie Houston.
Previously this month, ODESZA announced “The Return,” their first series of live shows in three years. The show dates will take place at their hometown Seattle’s Pledge Climate Arena for a sold-out three-night run from July 29 to July 31.
