Virtuoso Music Blog: All Things Bright and Beautiful- Owl City
http://virtuosomusicblog.blogspot.com/2011/06/all-things-bright-and-beautiful-owl.html
Monday, 20 June 2011. All Things Bright and Beautiful- Owl City. Adam Young is charming. Don't deny it; you heard Fireflies last year, and you were instantly struck by the sincerity in his voice. He released an album last year; Ocean Eyes, which cemented his Owl City project as synth-pop's brightest light. Owl City's back about a year later. Can the sophomore effort build on the solid foundations of the debut? Well, yes and no. Does feel ambitious in grandeur, yet a little flat lyrically. In all, ATBAB i...

Wednesday, 6 April 2011. Goodnight Moon EP- Heyhihello. As with The Joy Formidable. I knew literally nothing about Heyhihello. Prior to the download of this piece. However, where The Joy Formidable had some acclaimed work prior to my first play through, Heyhihello have nothing in the public attention. In fact, I only found out about the band through watching a YouTube. Video that had some of their music in the background. It did make an impression, though. Heyhihello can best be described as Owl City.
