owl city.

An acquaintance of mine recently introduced me to Owl City. Vocals, keys and programming are the responsibility of sole member, Adam Young. For electronica pop fans who are bummed out because The Postal Service doesn't seem to be releasing any new albums in the near future, Owl City just might finally quench your thirst. Now, I am a huge Ben Gibbard fan so I believe no one can compare to this man's poetic, lyrical genius; however, I think there is something to be heard here. Young describes his music as "dreamy." I agree. I'd like to call it "dream pop." The charming, emotive lyric-style follows in fashion to those of Mr. Gibbard himself, so I say give it a shot. According to Owl City's Myspace, a new full-length album will be released March 18. Let's keep an eye on this young lad. Listen here.
