ODESZA
ODESZA is the partnership of Harrison Mills and Clayton Knight, who met at Western Washington University and settled in Seattle, putting out their first tracks as a duo around the start of the 2010s. They make electronic music built for big feelings: pitched vocal chops, live-sounding drums, and melodies that lean wistful rather than aggressive, which helped push dance music toward something warmer. Songs like "Say My Name" and "Sun Models" turned them from a SoundCloud act into festival headliners, and they brought a full live drum line on stage to match.

In Return (2014). This is where everything clicked: "Say My Name" with its chopped-up vocal hook, the slow-build glow of "Sun Models," and "Bloom" are all on one record.
