Summer's Gone is the debut studio album by ODESZA, released in September 2012 and self-released by Harrison Mills (Catacombkid) and Clayton Knight (BeachesBeaches). Recorded between classes at Western Washington University, the album introduced the duo's signature sound, lush melodic layers, chopped vocal samples, gentle trap rhythms, and a warm, wistful atmosphere evoking the melancholy beauty of late summer. Though released with minimal promotion, the album spread rapidly online through SoundCloud and music blogs, building ODESZA a dedicated fanbase before they had performed a single live show. Tracks like 'How We Do,' 'IPlayYouListen,' and the title suite established a sound that felt both intimate and cinematic. Summer's Gone is one of the finest self-released debut albums in the history of electronic music.
