So these guys are the hot topic right now. Having debuted in the USA with their mini album OF JUNE in April 2007, OWL CITY have finally made it big. Their popularity rocked the country especially with their hit single FIREFLIES, which is already available here in the UK.
I was first introduced to them by a friend of mine, I think last summer. My impressions? Well they've taken electronic influences and have fused that into pop songs. For me, it's too cute and fluffy. The melodies are upbeat and bouncy, the lyrics are too easy and typical. I'm just not very taken by it all. Also, their songs all sound the same. After a while it's like shut up and move on.
Don't get me wrong though, I know they will take the UK by storm and they will most definitely make a huge impact to the audience here. Just not me. I think they'll catch on with teenage girls along with Justin Bieber, JLS and all them lot.. Yeah I'm not on it.
But, if you do like them or if you are interested, here is a DOWNLOAD for one of their new ones called VANILLA TWILIGHT (..I mean, what a gay title). This is one of 13 tracks recorded in their upcoming album OCEAN EYES. It will be available here on February 22nd.
