In a groundbreaking collaboration, ODESZA and Emile van Dango, also known as Yellow House, have joined forces to deliver their highly anticipated EP, Flaws in Our Design. Released on Friday, July 21, the EP reflects ODESZA’s artistic versatility and willingness to explore new sounds as they venture into uncharted territory, presenting a whole new vibe that’s both refreshing and euphoric.
ODESZA Leans Into New Sounds
Through mesmerizing soundscapes and captivating melodies, the Flaws in Our Design takes listeners on a soul-stirring journey that tugs at your heartstrings as you find yourself lost in pure emotion. Veering away from their typical future bass and chillwave sound, ODESZA embraces a more indie-chill vibe that, when blended with the sonic vision of Yellow House, turns into something new and addicting. From the psychedelic vibe of Undone to the blissful harmonies of Waiting Forever, the Flaws in Our Design is a sonic experience like no other.
ODESZA and Yellow House Complement Eachother Perfectly
An unlikely match, the genesis of the EP was born out of an unexpected collaboration between ODESZA and Yellow House. After reaching out to Emile through Soundcloud, ODESZA found themselves captivated by the energy and synergy that emerged with Yellow House in the studio. This shared passion and creative connection are evident throughout the EP, as the project as a whole is a harmonious blend of their respective talents.
“We discovered Emile/Yellow House on SoundCloud and were immediately drawn to his voice and delivery. After finding success working on a few demos, we flew him over from South Africa to work with us in our Seattle studio,” ODESZA explained. “From the jump, the music had that unmistakable energy of having discovered something special. We found ourselves drawn to a unique blend of electronic production and Emile’s incredible ability to create nostalgic melodies and storytelling lyrics. From there, we went about creating a number of tracks and exploring various different combinations of the two worlds.”
A Monumental Year for ODESZA
It’s no secret that ODESZA is flying higher than ever before between a brilliant album in The Last Goodbye and the monumental tour that followed. Their decision to embark on this new artistic endeavor and collaborate with an artist like Yellow House not only demonstrates their vast musical reach but a commitment to continuous growth as producers. As they continue to build upon their biggest year to date, Flaws in Our Design serves as yet another testament to ODESZA’s evolution as artists, solidifying their place as pioneers in the electronic world.
