  • Bio

    Hey everyone, I will NO LONGER BE CHECKING MYSPACE EMAIL AND CAN ONLY BE REACHED THROUGH MY WEBSITE Odessachen.com. Too much spam! Thanks! .. ---------------------------------------------------------.. With a voice that brings together the intimacy of Songs:Ohia and the ethereal force of Sigur Ros or Jeff Buckley, Odessa Chen's music has been described as wintry, intelligent, haunting, and tender. Her debut album, One Room Palace, explores themes of love, longing, beauty and death with accomplished lyrics, a fingerpicking guitar style that is almost classical, and arrangements both sparse and complex. For live shows she is joined by Rich Douthit (of The Drift) on drums and Devin Hoff (of Nels Cline Singers and Good for Cows) on double bass. She has been interviewed on NPR, and has a growing national audience. A guest vocalist on recordings by Charles Atlas and Thee More Shallows, she is currently at work on the follow up to One Room Palace.

    "Great Us"

    "Gift love is an estate of mind
    That isn't taxing
    Invite me into yours
    And I'll let you explore mine
    And if I find that you are my kind of woman
    And we have comfortable
    No bull vibes
    Maybe love will gift us
    Two maybe fly from there
    To a place where
    No air is needed to sustain us
    Because gift love is an estate
    That spirit planes us
    When we remain
    Respectfully protective of it's contents
    Love's Establishments
    Make it plain
    We won't have to act-sent
    We'll ascend

    Maybe
    That's why I love
    Gift love
    Without pretense
    And speak
    Without
    An
    Act-sent

    And find
    There is no need to represent
    When we are just being
    what is within
    Our love doesn't need to descend
    Into the asked state
    Called
    Acting
    That many learn to loathe
    Past hate
    After subtracting
    Themselves from it
    And adding up the time and heart invested in it
    Never to ascend past that
    What's next?
    Vexed
    Complex feeling

    Great us
    Is our state
    Us!
    When we can relate
    To us

    Separated only by
    how high we try
    To individually fly
    Into our own
    Estates of mind"
