Odesza-Summer's Gone (Album Review)

Even though Odesza's debut Summer's Gone came out in September 2012, it's the perfect electronic LP for August 27th 2013. Nights are finally getting colder here in Madrid, offering temporary respite from the blazing hot days and teasing cooler days to come. Today's jamandahalf is also the perfect wind down to a summer of bangers and big anthems. In some ways sounding like the sonical heirs to Röyksopp, Odesza's chill electronic jams leave you a warm smile on your face, dreading the imminent arrival of cold but confident that right around the corner will be summer again. Hailing from the Pacific Northwest, Odesza (a duo of producers who met in college) seem to be on the very tipping point of stardom. Recently touring with Pretty Lights, I can't wait to see what these guys have brewing. Check them out on their website where you can download Summer's Gone for free (check out the superb IPlayYouListen) or stream them below.

Pretty Lights-Finally Moving

This is the ultimate warm, lazy summer afternoon jam. Unfortunately, seeing as I'm in the midst of a rainy Fall here in Madrid, I'll have to wait a little before I can test out my theory that this is the ultimate lazy summer jam. But in the mean time, I thought I should post it for all of you out there enjoying lazy summer afternoons (southern hemisphere stand up!). Pretty Lights has crafted a gorgeous, layered walk through the park with this one. Pretty much begging for your favorite rapper to lay a verse on it, "Finally Moving" lets you think a lot by not saying a lot, giving you ample space to breath while it meanders along through flutes, scratches, and funky sound effects. All in all a winner. Check it out.
