ODESZA’S MOMENT ARRIVES WITH ITS STUNNING No. 3 DEBUT ON THE BILLBOARD 200

ODESZA'S MOMENT ARRIVES WITH ITS STUNNING No. 3 DEBUT ON THE BILLBOARD 200

SECOND No. 1 ON THE BILLBOARD DANCE/ELECTRONIC CHART
No. 1 ON THE CURRENT PHYSICAL ALBUMS CHART

ODESZA reaches a career milestone as A Moment Apart debuts at No. 3 on The Billboard 200, earning 62,742 equivalent album units making them one of only five electronic acts this year in the top three, including Gorillaz, Calvin Harris, The Chainsmokers and LCD Soundsystem. A Moment Apart also marks ODESZA's second No. 1 debut on the Billboard Top Dance/Electronic Album chart, with five songs from the album landing on the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart, including current single "Line Of Sight (feat. WYNNE & Mansionair)". ODESZA also debuts at No. 1 on the Nielsen SoundScan Current Physical Albums chart.

Heralded by Billboard as "the uplifting sort of magic the world can really use" and by Nylon as "simply put, transcendent," A Moment Apart (Counter Records/Ninja Tune) is their highest-debuting album, which features Leon Bridges, Regina Spektor, RY X, WYNNE and Naomi Wild among others. Entirely self-produced by the duo and a testament to their fan base built on their touring and online presence, Pitchfork, Complex, Paper Magazine and Dancing Astronaut have also praised the album with USA Today designating ODESZA one of its "summer festival MVPs."

"The album's really about coming full circle and finding balance in both the sadness and the beauty. The album's about perspective, and it's about changing your perspective and not looking at something just at surface level. If there's a theme of the album, that's it." - Harrison Mills

"I think the name and the album itself are not so much about isolation as the internal energy, something that happens from within when you step back from everything." - Clayton Knight

ODESZA launched its 2017 A Moment Apart Tour with a triumphant hometown return to headline Bumbershoot earlier this month in Seattle. The tour, which takes the duo to nine countries on three continents, features an 11-piece band and stunning live visual. "ODESZA has grown into a behemoth over the last five years," Pollstar says. "Nearly all headline shows we have on record for them have been 100 percent sold out."

The 2017 A Moment Apart Tour returns to North America on October 19 and continues through December 15, with ODESZA playing their largest venues to date, including Los Angeles' STAPLES Center and Brooklyn's Barclays Center. Numerous shows have already sold out, with demand prompting the addition of second and third dates in multiple markets. Dates here: http://odesza.com/shows/

 

More praise for ODESZA and A Moment Apart:

'"A Moment Apart' just keeps chasing bigger thrills, deeper colors, and more heartstring-tugging emotions across an hour-long set of bright-eyed electronic pop, pan-pipe trap, breakbeat soul, and slow-motion house." - Pitchfork

"...an emotional journey of epic proportions exploring humanity's intimate moments expressed through glorious chords and layers of textured beats." - Billboard

"ODESZA's third studio album … draws on the duo's established stylistic approach, stunning vocals, and a willingness to experiment with these elements, to create an awe-inspiring euphoric end product." - Dancing Astronaut

"ODESZA has achieved what often seems impossible - building off their established success without retreading the past, staying consistent without growing stagnant, and increasing their reach without alienating their core fanbase." - UPROXX

"A highly polished, confident album which demonstrates their ability to write songs that have the power to retain the crowd in the palm of their hands." - PopMatters
