AMG Review of Ocean Eyes
Andrew Leahey
All Music GuideFilled with bubbling electronics and light, G-rated club anthems, Ocean Eyes sets its sights on the MySpace generation, targeting the younger siblings of those who bought the Postal Service's Give Up six years earlier. This is computerized pop music, replete with programmed drum loops, digital symphonies, and all the amenities of modern recording software. Only Adam Young's vocals carry a hint of human presence, and his fanciful lyrics -- which turn even the most mundane content (see "Dental Care," a good ol' fashioned ode to oral hygiene) into whimsy -- serve to strengthen the album's escapist appeal. Such syrupy sweetness builds to a feverish pitch throughout the album's 12 tracks, peaking during the viral sensation "Hey Seattle" and its sonic cousin, "On the Wing." Those who don't have a sweet tooth should stay away, but Ocean Eyes will serve as a tasty dessert for those who can stomach it.

Album:
Future pop has fast become a term used for acts that entwine pop melodies and characteristics with experimental, electronic beats; often including either a synth or a keyboard and usually throwing in a hint of trance/house danceability for good measure.

The Postal Service may have coined "poptronica" with that one disc. Lord knows, Gibbard and Tamborello's synth-pop extensions have been coined themselves over and over lately, and the folks keep begging for more - so why not?Owl City is Adam Young's alter ego. The shy Minnesotan has found his own night-flying superhero sound, even if it was stamped with another zip code.http://www.myspace.com/o...
