Owl City January 24, 2010

If your household appliances wrote love songs while you were away on vacation, their cheerful blips and bleeps would pour out the windows, sweep through the neighborhood like candy-coated tidal waves, and you would return home to find crowds of people standing on your lawn, clapping and singing along to the happiest pop melodies imaginable. Welcome to Owl City. Based in Owatonna, Minnesota, Owl City is Adam Young and his backing band when performing live. Owl City gained mainstream popularity from his 2009 major-label debut album 'Ocean Eyes,' which included the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 #1 hit single 'Fireflies.'
