The chase to discover what ODESZA is up to next just got a lot more interesting.
Earlier in the week, the duo sent fans into a fever pitch with a cryptic new teaser. Not only were their devotees losing their minds over the prospect of new music, but the intensity also skyrocketed as many believed the move signaled the impending end of ODESZA. The notion of a departure gained steam due to their usage of the phrasing, "Welcome to The Last Goodbye."
Luckily for those worried about the future of the duo, today's news might offer a bit of reprieve. While their first teaser welcomed fans to "The Last Goodbye," their latest ponders: "Is There Ever a Last Goodbye?"
The new developments took some serious sleuthing to decipher. Over on the Foreign Family Collective Discord server, a member noticed an update to ODESZA's dedicated "TLG" microsite. They then discovered a new, password-protected URL. Entering the code "tlg"—on either the site or via text message—triggered the dispatch of a reversed audio clip. This process was further explained on the Discord server:
