GRAMMY nominated duo ODESZA and groundbreaking Australian producer Golden Features are releasing a new joint album as BRONSON. BRONSON was formed when ODESZA members Harrison Mills and Clayton Knight met Tom Stell of Golden Features at an Australian music festival in 2014. The three shared their mutual admiration for each other's performances and kept in touch by exchanging music across time zones and continents via dropbox files and FaceTime calls. The trio's encounter culminated in a 2018 meeting when the three artists spent a week in the remote region of Berry, Australia to record what would later become BRONSON's debut album. As can be seen from the first two singles, elements of light and dark run through the ten-song album, as the main theme of "BRONSON" wants to reflect the inherent struggle of light against darkness. The record combines melodic vocal songs with atmospheric, deeper electronica, and guest contributions from lau.ra (who, along with Nigel Godrich of Radiohead, is part of the experimental rock band Ultra?sta), the celebrated US R&B singer Gallant and the British producer Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs (TEED). ODESZA's and Golden Features' combined streaming numbers reach into the billions and the two acts have each released several singles and albums that have been certified with gold and platinum. The artists have collaborated with a number of renowned artists such as Sia, Charli XCX, Leon Bridges, Regina Spektor, Katy Perry and others. As highly sought-after live acts, the two projects have also reached millions of fans around the world on their respective headline tours. ODESZA have also sold out legendary venues around the world such as Verti Music Hall in Berlin, London's O2 Academy Brixton, Staples Center in Los Angeles and Barclays Center in New York and have been headlining festivals such as Melt!, Coachella, Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza.
