Ah, owl city! I heard fireflies on the radio (but didn't hear the artist)and it bugged me for ages what it reminded me of...
They do sound like a vanilla postal service, popped up a bit...
Mostly; I still have a couple of tubs of wax - that stuff lasts forever - but the gel went in under a year.
Decision tree on whether to buy an iPad
I was using my hair gel today and realised its probably the same one I had in first year or even sixth form. It made me remember - spud did you ever get around to using that pile of shockwaves that tom got for you?
But the owl city vocalist sounds so much more whiney to me.
It just doesn't feel like anything new in 6-7 years except a good marketing campaign.
looks like John lennon. I'll get on it!
And @Lex, I guess I'd say a slightly poorer version of the Postal Service, except that it's *so* similar it's hard to criticise without being hypocritical/a fanboy.
If PS had released a couple more albums then I'd slate Owl City for sure, but you can grow tired of listening to Give Up over and over and over...
Can't find it, blurry at the bottom
So - Owl city, poor mans postal service or good?
