Review: Owl City
Adam Young’s synthed out vocals create a consistent theme that spans this album but most notably on opening track ‘Cave In’ as well as the first released single ‘Fireflies’. Young’s Myspace phenomenon is well deserved and this release proves that. Whilst the lyrics that at times appear almost too heart-felt, the overall tone of the album is a soft emotive sound that reaches it’s happiest on ‘Dental Care’. Whilst each song is unique in its own right, the most distinctive song is the acoustic driven ‘The Bird And The Worm’. Accompanied with a catchy piano intro and the memorable lyrics such as ‘with friends like these/who needs enemies’, this song is my standout. The honesty in his lyrics along with the upbeat drums and sweet chime sounds, the album has the potential to appeal to a broader audience. Owl City has a distinguished sound amongst a mixed bag of recent pop releases. Overall, Ocean Eyes is a fantastic first release of synth pop that Young personally and Owl City collectively can be proud of.
