Coming Article: Owl City Ocean Eyes & HI RES ALBUM ARTWORK

Here's an article on Owl City's new album,

Ocean Eyes. Below is the high-res album art!

Toward the end of July the electronic/techno group Owl City released its latest album, Ocean Eyes. Its skillful polymerization of emo-pop and electronica into a single positive, energetic art form defines Ocean Eyes as a promising beginning to Owl City's mainstream entrance to the music industry. Ocean Eyes justly showcases the sole member of Owl City, Adam Young, and bears a unique sound, which could become a trend setter for other up and coming artists. Its cool, vibrant lyrics fluidly accompany dynamic synth solos, popping drumlines, and high-energy, charming vocals to create a veritable "Digital Orchestra". The combined sound of interlocking resonances and controlled clatter is very memorable. This album is certainly a treat to listen to even if you are not a fan of electronic music.

The album has a number of impressive songs. One of them is a definite favorite of fans and MySpace alike, "Hello Seattle". Rerecorded yet gloriously loyal to the original, this track gives an upbeat sensation to any listener. Those who love the song will not be surprised to discover that "Hello Seattle" actually was the track that landed a record contract with its current label, Universal Republic. Another highlight of the album is "Tidal Wave". This song has a beautiful blend of synthesizers and leaves you a feeling of wonder. "Fireflies" is another gem from the album. Adam Young's voice adds a human touch to the song that is truly remarkable. The track carries a crisp, sonic sound.

Major differences between Ocean Eyes and previous albums include the level of filtering on Adam's voice whose transition was buffered by the monthly give away of two freebie singles leading up to the release of the album, Hot Air Balloon & Strawberry Avalanche, which featured a new yet familiar vocal style which proved incredibly popular among fans and those new to Owl City.
