Owl City Options

I've been listening to this band a lot lately. Owl City is mainly... well it's hard to say. It's synthetic techno with a guy singing softly over it. The songs can range from dance to ambient, to alternative. You just have to hear it. I really love this band, the sound is something else, and the lyrics are often awesome.

This is one of my personal favorites:

And another:

ocean eyes begins with "Please take a good hard look at your textbook 'cuz I'm history," a dire miscarriage of wordplay that gives listeners fair warning to abandon the album immediately. Later in this same song, called "Cave In," Adam Young (Owl City's 23-year-old sole member) sings "every mushroom cloud has a silver lining," which his fans describe as "deep" and "chilling" instead of the more accurate "f*cking retarded." He's apparently suggesting his infantile optimism would survive even nuclear war, and that he'd be clapping his hands and singing "da da da" while skipping over radiation-scorched corpses. Actually, I guess that is pretty "chilling."

from here.


I don't like this guy's music (I've only heard the current stuff). His lyrics are terrible, but I guess it's what 13 year old girls like... so if he's cashing in on crappy electro music with lyrics that don't even line up more power to him.
