Anybody Ever Hear "Owl City"?

[getlynched47]

I just saw the video for Fireflies video by Owl City, and wow. I'm amazed. I like this music! Just to give you a hint on what kind of music I listen to, I'm heavy into the rap (Yung Joc, Gorilla Zoe, T.I., Lil' Wayne, etc.), and the R&B, and my favorite band all-time is Linkin Park. I was also a very huge Blink-182 fan, so obviously my range of music is very big.

This music is different, but it's pretty good. I like this music a lot. Check it out and let me know what you think.

darn I'm sorry guys. I don't understand why you have to sign up. I didn't have to in order to listen to the music. I'm sorry.

Here's the video to "Fireflies". Very neat.

It's a mix of electronica, pop, soft rock, etc.

If I had to compare it to anything, I'd probably say Jack's Mannequin.

I wil lhave to check out more of their stuff.

Okay guys, sorry for posting crap links in the original post. Unfortunately, I can't edit that original post, but I found another place that has Owl City's best hits from Myspace:

http://music.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=music.popupplayer&sindex=-1.0&shuffle=false&amix=false&pmix=false&plid=36341&artid=4661586&profid=201526773&friendid=201526773&sseed=0&ptype=3&stime=0&ap=1&rpeat=false

Check out the music. I think it's very good music, and like U29 said, it's pretty "chill". There some goods stuff there.

Just a little background info on the band (well it actually isn't a band because it's just one guy)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Owl_City

Owl City is the name of a project formed in early 2007 consisting of one member, Adam Young.[3] Young started out making music in his parents' basement,[3] which he claims is a result of his insomnia.[4] Among Young's influences are disco and European electronic music.[5] 1980s synthpop and New Wave music is also heard in Owl City's sound.

Owl City breaks away from the mold of 2000s music in that his music is happy and "G-rated" and not depressing, manic or obscene.
He sings about unconventional topics such as urban design, the elements, travel, and also more conventional topics such as romance and love.
Like new urban contemporaries Lights and Ben Gibbard, Young's music is primarily synth based, dreamy and atmospheric. [6]
Owl City has been said to sound like the The Postal Service. [3]

I hope you like it......please share your thoughts :salute!:

Another way to describe it is "melo"

I feel kinda homoish after watching that video...


But I don't blast people for whatever artists or bands they like.

I'm not to big into this Owl City guy... But I do like some bands that sound like this such as Something Corporate or The Sophomore Attempt.

No I know exactly what you mean.

This isn't the kind of music I'm used to listening to, and I heard it and was like "This stuff is gay".

Then I saw the video on Fuse again, and I was like...."Alright the beat isn't that bad"

Then I heard a few more of their songs and was like "Okay, well it isn't horrible."

And this is coming from a guy that listens to a lot of East coast hip-hop. I know how you feel.

I've known about Owl City for about 2 years. Fireflies is not his first single ever

Huh? I didn't say it was his first single every

[Skywalker]

Huh? I didn't say it was his first single every

for the first single of this project started by 1 guy

Sorry, it just sounded to me that you meant he just started Owl City and Fireflies was his first song. My bad.

Oh damn whoops I completely missed that.

Yeah I didn't mean that Young just started it, but the way I worded it it's really easily to interpret that.

I'm just so damn tired from school, I can't believe I missed that. Imma change it right now. Sorry.

I like the sound. Does it sound really similar to Death Cab For Cutie to anyone else though?
