"Odessa" comes from Swim, the album Dan Snaith released as Caribou in April 2010 on City Slang and Merge, the record where the Canadian left behind the psychedelic pop he had lately been making and headed for the dance floor. The song is his alone: Snaith wrote the music and the words and produced it himself, handing only the mix to David Wrench.
The album around it pulls between headphone-brain electronics and the kind that moves bodies, and it drew wide acclaim, landing on year-end best-of lists and, in 2014, on Pitchfork's rundown of the best albums of the decade so far.
