ODESZA’s record label, Foreign Family Collective, is known for producing some of our favorite artists in the EDM scene. One of those artists is known as obli, and he’s just released his second single “Too Far.” The track is a less euphoric, more experimental follow-up from his previous song “hei,” but continues to show his extensive production talents. obli starts the song by layering lines of percussion with minimal synths, transitioning into sampled vocals that perfectly complete this eerie, lo-fi track.
“Too Far” arrives after several years in the making, and it’s a meaningful release for obli. He had this to say on the creation of his new song, and the symbolism that it holds:
I’ve always been proud of this track and I’m truly excited to finally have it out. The song represents things in life feeling like ’too much’ or that they have ‘gone too far’. I think that’s something that everyone feels from time to time no matter what is going on in their life.
We’re stoked to see what else obli has in store for us this year! In the meantime, you can listen to his new song “Too Far” below. Enjoy!
