Owl City is whimsical, creating an all-around, feel-good vibe. The lyrics for the most part are entirely concrete, a picture is painted and all you have to do is follow along.Your mind begins to wander and gets lost in the overwhelming amount of effects taking place.

The songs are quite dreamy. The mood is set by the multiple insertions of piano, organs and synthesizers (basically all the bells and whistles he can get his hands on) and brought out on Owl City’s latest release, “Ocean Eyes.” It is uplifting, upbeat and up, up and away as he soars into your mind.

Owl City is Adam Young, a singer/songwriter, whose passion is to seemingly just get lost in his own music. Many of his tunes have a tendency to drift off. Riffs turn into unexpected choruses and so on, but ultimately work perfectly for his style.

You can listen to it as a sleep aid or to dance the night away. His tunes can be construed as club music, yet some acoustic guitar tracks are involved as well, which mellow out the high strung songs.

The music seemingly transcends you onto a higher plane and some of the more enchanting lyrics. For instance, the song “Fireflies,” makes you actually envision that “I get a thousand hugs, from a thousand lightening bugs, as they try to teach me how to dance.”

It doesn’t make too much sense. It’s like a fairytale world that he lives in, a castle in the sky, in his own mind.

That line “We’re not in Kansas anymore Toto” from the Wizard of Oz makes me think of Owl City in songs like “Vanilla Twilight,” a land of make believe where your dreams come to life.

Owl City brings music to life; close your eyes, open your ears, and take the trip. This album is a concoction of sheer brilliance with the twist of ingenious.

Owl City has found accomplishment in “Ocean Eyes,” but it will be very hard to top this album. I’m sure fans wait with eager ears, wondering if he will dazzle us once again? Only time will tell.
