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.
I love to wrap myself in your songs on a cold May day, and that's what we have here in New York. I have "one room palace" on the player today. So I signed in to tell you I'm glad I discovered your songs on CDBaby those years ago. Come to NYC someday, hey?
really in love with make up my mind and the weight. I would like to listen to your first album, maybe I buy the two next week. Cheers from Spain! Germán.
