How Odesza Became The Biggest Seattle Band You've Probably Never Heard Of

On Sept. 11, 2014, Red Light Management鈥檚 Adam Foley was sitting in his office in Virginia waiting for a weekly sales report. He knew what it was going to say, but he patiently waited anyway. His newest clients, the two Seattle men who record and perform under the name Odesza, had just released their sophomore LP, In Return, three days earlier. When the electronic Billboard charts finally published, there it was: Odesza at #1.

鈥淣o, I wasn鈥檛 surprised,鈥 Foley tells me a little over a year later. 鈥淚t was like, 鈥楪reat,鈥 then we turned away from it and just kept going.鈥 As of this week, In Return will have sat on the Billboard electronic chart for 66 consecutive weeks, 46 of those in the top 10.
