Don't Sleep on La Cuidad Off Odesza's A Moment Apart

Remember that time I kept posting about Odesza tracks every other day back in 2017? Alright, alright...I promise this is the last post for a while. Let's just say all the treads are gone off the tires I've put so much mileage into A Moment Apart.

You are all keenly aware of the singles from the album at this point, but the more I listen to the album, the more I find myself gravitating to La Cuidad. It's such an adventure of tempos and moods. Off top, the funky, upbeat rhythm sucks you in. Then comes the stutter vocal sample to provide a pitter-patter of contrast with the steady beat. Then the pace slows to quiet whisper before picking up again to mimmick the shotgun start. And in case you hadn't gotten enough of a tempo roller coaster, there's this lullabye, swan-song-esque minute long outro that will put you to sleep if you let it. In case you're still hiding under that rock, come out from underneath it and open your ears to A Moment Apart. And if you want to know even more about them as artists and the creation of the album, check out their Reddit AMA from earlier this week...#LaCuidad
