First off, I need to apologize to those of you that come around and read my articles throughout the week, I haven’t been able to put out quite as many articles recently. This should be changing pretty soon, I apologized again if it takes longer than expected. Anyway, down to business. Lately, I have been listening to Owl City. A very talented one-man band, Owl City is Adam Young, who comes from Minnesota. I’ve been a fan of Owl City since he set out in 2007, but I have now been listening to him more over this past summer. Owl City has a great electronica beat in all their songs, and Adam uses guest singers on many songs to get the perfect vocal atmosphere for each song. My personal favorite song is “The Saltwater Room,” which uses backup vocals by Breanne Duren. You can find a video of a live performance of The Saltwater Room below. I really enjoy Adam’s performance style, he brings a great feel to the stage.

Ben Gibbard much?
Yeah, I’ve noticed a lot of similarities there. Can’t complain though, more music to listen to. I do prefer Ben’s style though.
haha yeah, I was going to say he had a distinct “death cab” sound. I like it though – not complaining.
