Owl City, a solo project by artist Adam Young formerly of the Christian ska band Five Iron Frenzy, will be playing at Neumo’s in Seattle this Friday October 16 for his 2009 North American tour.
Young’s music is classified under the electronica/pop scene and is sweeping individuals off their feet with his “happy go lucky” feel containing metaphorically appropriate lyrics, along with a sparkling electronic beat. He has several side projects, including electropop band Swimming With Dolphins with Austin Tofte.
In being apart of Owl City, Young has produced several EPs, which began in June of 2007. Following that, his first official album “Maybe I’m dreaming” caught many fans’ eyes and revealed a new side of Adam Young that people have been looking for.
Since his newest album “Ocean Eyes” was released, more and more are attracted to the talent that Young displays both on- and off-stage as a lyrist and musician. The album consists of mostly new songs with a few remixes of his indie tracks, such as “Hello Seattle” and personal favorite “The Saltwater Room.” His most well-received track “Fireflies” can be heard on 107.7 The End as a top hit, according to their web-site. “Ocean Eyes” takes a slightly different route than his days as an unsigned artist. Now with Universal Records, his music contains a more electronic feel.
In “Maybe I’m Dreaming” he released a song that many have come to know and love titled “Hello Seattle.” The title basically says it all, but the lyrics explain the perks of Seattle along with the fascinating geography, which truly gives anyone who’s curious, a feeling about what Seattle is all about. According to www.absolutepunk.net, “It [the album Maybe I’m Dreaming] kicks off in dreamy fashion with “On the Wing” and “Rainbow Veins,” two beautifully flowing efforts which carry the listener away into another world”.
Owl City is touring with the Scene Aesthetic and Brooke Waggonner, who will be opening for him.
The concert has been sold out for a month, and the entire tour is now sold out. For more information about Owl City, see his website at www.owlcitymusic.com.
