Owl City
Owl City is the product of insomniac Adam Young. In Owatonna, Minnesota, Adam Young began playing and recording music in his parent’s basement and then proceeded to upload them to Myspace. The first album was self-released in 2007, titled Of June. Young’s fan base grew rapidly and in 2008 he self-released another album, this one titled Maybe I’m Dreaming. In July of 2009, Owl City saw its first major label album: Ocean Eyes. In July it was released digitally, with a physical release followed soon after. The single Fireflies features vocals from Relient K’s Matt Thiessen, as did three other songs on Ocean Eyes. Both the album and single worked their way up the Billboard charts, and Fireflies can often be heard on the radio. What more can we expect from Adam Young? I think it’s safe to say, many great things. What do you think? Oh, and a few other songs from Owl City that I particularly enjoy, besides all of them: Hello Seattle, Saltwater Room, Vanilla Twilight, Dear Vienna, I’ll Meet You There.
