Props to a few people who have already heard of this one.
They'll remind you of the Postal Service, both musically and vocally, with slightly more cheesy lyrics. Well, the lyrics can sound cheesy, but they also sound really happy, which can seem rare sometimes anymore.
Adam Young is the one man in Owl City, "formed" in Owatonna, Minnesota. He started playing music in his parents basement while suffering from insomnia. This led to a self-released EP (2007's "Of June"), and a full-length album (2008's "Maybe I'm Dreaming.) Universal Records took notice of him, signed him to the label, and he just released his major-label debut, "Ocean Eyes." (It's available on iTunes currently, the physical CD doesn't hit stores until the 28th)
You can also check out two different side projects Adam Young maintains, Swimming With Dolphins, and Port Blue.
PS- You can download this song for FREE on iTunes... but I'm not sure for how much longer. Jump on it!
Enjoy Owl City... here's "Fireflies"
