Owl City Takes Flight
Owl City this week grabbed the #1 spot on the ARIA Singles Chart with the infectious debut single “Fireflies” and achieved the highest individual sales week since Anthony Callea’s “The Prayer” in 2004. “Fireflies” has consequently surpassed Platinum sales.
The “band” is fronted by Adam Young who created Owl City in his small town in the state of Minneapolis. Describing his music as “electronic pop being force-fed a healthy diet of keyboard smoothies” – Adam Young a/k/a Owl City has touched a nerve with music fans across the US and beyond.
The debut album Ocean Eyes was released late last year and Australian fans of Owl City will be able to see him perform for the first time in Australia when he tours with Cobra Starship in March.
