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:

I feel like he's having a conversation with a seven-year-old girl with whom he's trying to sleep with, then decided to use a vocoder. And then somehow this qualifies people as techno-aficionados.

still hear fireflies too much


anyone notice that it sounds just like relient k? if someone had made me listen to it and then guess who sang it, i would say relient k. it sounds exactly the same, even down to the way the dude sings it and pronounces his words.
Oooh, never thought of that. 'Twas probably his vocoder voice that threw me off. And Relient K always had very Christian-y lyrics.

I think that Adam Young will have to spice up the material though if he wants continued success.
Meh, people seem to like the mellowness of 'Fireflies'. If a next single will be replaced, it'll probably sound similar. I haven't heard the albums, though...any predictions?
