Yellow Aster Butte may be a misnomer (those yellow-petaled delights are actually daisies), but you definitely don’t want to miss hiking here.

The Boulder River trail is a nice hike that can be done any time of year. Come in winter while the rain is dripping off the mossy trees, photograph the waterfalls filled with spring snowmelt. Take the kids out for a little picnic in the summer, or leaf collecting in the fall. Come anytime midweek for quiet contemplation.

BRONSON by BRONSON, released 07 August 2020
1. FOUNDATION
2. HEART ATTACK (feat. lau.ra)
3. BLINE
4. KNOW ME (feat. Gallant)
5. VAULTS
6. TENSE
7. CALL OUT
8. CONTACT
9. KEEP MOVING
10. DAWN (feat. Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs)
GRAMMY-nominated duo ODESZA and groundbreaking Sydney producer Golden Features have announced their new project BRONSON with the launch of two contrasting singles âHEART ATTACK (feat. lau.ra)â and âVAULTSâ out now on Foreign Family Collective and Ninja Tune. The double release serves as the primer to the trioâs forthcoming self-titled debut album, set for July 17. Both tracks offer two distinct looks into BRONSON, embracing an alternate identity for the trio in which they discovered a newfound limitlessness and ability to explore new soundscapes, free from any expectations attached to their respective projects. âHEART ATTACKâ finds a weightless dreamy soundscape in lau.raâs vocals (of UltraÃsta), while âVAULTSâ explores a gripping intensity by way of distorted basslines and edgier cinematic tones.
On âHEART ATTACK,â BRONSON reflects that it âwas the first vocal track we worked on for the record. It was one of those ideas that came together really quickly and felt very natural while writing with lau.ra. Ultimately, it was a confluence between the two distinctive sounds of ODESZA and Golden Features. It served as a turning point in the writing process of the album and an inspiration for the other vocal tracks to come.â
Nearly three years in the making, BRONSON originally formed through the personal connection that ODESZA members Harrison Mills and Clayton Knight shared with Golden Featuresâ Tom Stell. Out of mutual admiration on a creative level, they formed a digital record box of shared sounds sent across time zones and continents through Dropbox files and FaceTime calls. The product of those collective efforts culminated in 2018 when the trio spent a week, in the remote reaches of Berry, Australia, recording what would later become the first BRONSON album.
Furthermore, âVAULTSâ became an anchor in the writing process. As BRONSON observes, âit was one of the earlier instrumentals we completed and it acted as a cornerstone to the overall sound design and aesthetic of the album. The track really proved a departure from each artist's own respective styles and set a definitive change in direction for the BRONSON project. We knew we had something special here and it served as a guiding light for the rest of the record.â
As the debut releases, âHEART ATTACKâ and âVAULTSâ are indicative of the opposing light versus dark elements that flow throughout the 10 track album. The record strikes a beautiful balance between intense, emotive instrumental-heavy tracks and cathartic, melodic vocal songs, with additional guest features from Gallant and Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs. An unexpected yet welcome addition includes Harrison and Tom themselves providing the vocals for âCALL OUT,â a song that lulls the listener into tranquility.
The album reflects on their respective needs to challenge personal struggles, both internal and external. Moreover, the trio recognized that their own battles were merely microcosms of the surrounding world. The hope was to craft a body of work that was reflective of that duality of lightness and darkness inherent to the human condition. The result is a project with an extraordinary profundity and universal relatability. One can connect to it on a deeply personal level and find relief, no matter what they may be confronting in their own life.
ODESZA and Golden Features have combined streaming numbers in the billions and hold multiple gold and platinum singles and albums respectively. They've remixed and collaborated with an array of impressive artists including Sia, Leon Bridges, Regina Spektor, Katy Perry, Charli XCX and others. Both leaders in the live circuit, theyâve cumulatively reached millions of fans on global headline tours, with ODESZA selling out massive venues including Los Angelesâ Staples Center, New Yorkâs Barclays Center, Londonâs O2 Academy Brixton, as well as headlining world-famous festivals such as Coachella, Bonnaroo, Austin City Limits, Outside Lands and Lollapalooza.

Today, ODESZA has released a deluxe edition of their GRAMMY-nominated latest album âA Moment Apartâ, showcasing their endless creativity as musicians, producers, and songwriters who continually disintegrate any genre limitations of electronic music.
In addition to the original 16 tracks of âA Moment Apartâ, this digital-only Deluxe Edition features stripped-back and reimagined versions of LP singles âFalls (feat. Sasha Sloan)â, âLine Of Sight (feat. WYNNE & Mansionair)â and âHigher Ground (feat. Naomi Wild)â, inspired by the gorgeously intimate live performances of the latter two on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and Conan, respectively.
Instrumentals for these three tracks are included in the Deluxe Edition, as well as two tracks from 2014âs âIn Returnâ that feature heavily in ODESZAâs live show: a VIP remix of âItâs Only (feat. Zyra)â and a collaborative remix from ODESZA and Golden Features of âMemories That You Call (feat. Monsoonsiren)â. Yesterday, ODESZA released a live performance video of âItâs Onlyâ filmed at the WaMu Theater in their hometown of Seattle that attempts to capture the mind-blowing magnitude of their live show.
The release of âA Moment Apart (Deluxe Edition)â is a fitting expansion on an album that has earned the pioneering electronic music duo two GRAMMY nominations (Best Dance/Electronic Album, and Best Dance Recording for âLine Of Sight (feat. WYNNE & Mansionair)â). Following the release of the original album in Sept. 2017, ODESZA has taken to major festival stages such as Coachella, Panorama, Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits, while just last month, they announced the realization of a career-long dream with their curated four-day/night live music festival in Riviera Maya, Mexico on March 13-16. Called SUNDARA, the festival lineup will include multiple sets by top echelon contemporaries such as RÃFÃS DU SOL, RL Grime, Alison Wonderland and Bob Moses among many others, three separate and unique performances by ODESZA themselves, and a wide offering of other tropical vacation activities.
