M: Odesza are number two in the main Billboard chart this week, too. That is by far our biggest result. We’ve adapted
to the changing scene. You have to be down with everything now. You have to have each possible income stream working for you. Fifteen years ago we didn’t have a synch team. Now, that’s a very significant part of our earnings. Everything’s converged, which is great, but it has made it difficult to make a living from any one of those strands.
J: It’s an incredible resource. I think back to the little black book I used to carry around with me. I’d hear something on a radio station and, if they didn’t say the title, I’d write down some of the lyrics. And even then just trying to find American stuff was hard.
