Following a nearly five-year studio album hiatus, ODESZA have announced their fourth record The Last Goodbye, scheduled to drop July 22, plus its tracklist.
In tandem with the news and cover art reveal, the electronic duo enlisted the Knocks for its new song “Love Letter,” which follows the previously released singles “The Last Goodbye” and “Better Now.”
“The Knocks sent us an incredible demo that we were immediately drawn to,” ODESZA said in a press release. “Once we started writing for the new record we rediscovered the song and felt like it embodied much of the sound we were looking for. Over the next couple of months we worked to develop the track to its current form. Inspired by the late ’90s and early 2000s electronic scene, we went about trying to craft something that felt both timeless and modern.”
As for ODESZA’s next full-length offering, The Last Goodbye will feature guest appearances from Bettye LaVette, MARO, Låpsley, Ólafur Arnolds, Julianna Barwick, Izzy Bizu, and Charlie Houston.
“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,” ODESZA said about the record. “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.”
