Owl City – Mobile Orchestra – Album Review

Posted on by Posted in Music .

Owl City - Mobile OrchestraBand / Artist: Owl City

Album: Mobile Orchestra

Release Date: 10th July 2015

Genre: Synthpop / Electronica / Pop

 

Owl City always have and always will be one of my favourite bands, ever. This is thier 5th album, and it is truly wonderful.

The atmospheric and cosy, warm sounds of the perfectly timed synths really make you stop and just listen. I easily sat down and listened to the whole album twice in a row without even realising it.

Adam Young still remains my favourite song writer of all time, and I still can’t understand why he hasn’t won any Ivor Novello awards for his scintillating words and intriguing and cryptic stories.

Owl City had a lot to live up to following thier last album ‘The Midsummer Station’, which is my favourite of thier albums so far, but they really pulled it out of the bag this time, and I am almost certain that this is going to become my number 1 Owl City album with a few more listens.

 

Favourite Tracks: Thunderstruck, Unbelievable, Bird With A Broken Wing, Back Home and This Isn’t The End.

For Fans Of: Mika & Owl City’s previous albums.

MVD Entertainment Group

Posted on by Posted in Movies, Music .

Some people have a hard time finding cinema that fits their taste. One company has been serving artist and audiences for quite some time by providing a different selection of films. The cool thing about MVD is they offer the brand new concert on DVD’s that you want, and a selection of independent content as well. It’s great to see such a selection in one place. The best part is they are a great and friendly place to buy from.

Audiences everywhere are beginning to fall in love with a new generation of concerts on dvd. Most recently Owl City and Adele have been added to the selection over at MVD. You can expect to find great artist like Taylor Swift and others in the selection as well. From CD’s to DVD’s they seem to have it all. If you have a more independent taste in music and concerts on DVD then there are some great things for you there too. They offer many unauthorized documentaries, which are basically independently filmed stories of the artist and their journeys, something you don’t find everywhere! If you are looking for your favorite artist, or perhaps something different, MVD is the place to go.

Youtopia

Posted on by Posted in Music .

So you’ve all herd of Owl City, I’m quite sure you have. Did you know that he has a few singles out there that somehow have slid under the radar? Ah, you should’ve known that! For a while now the song Youtopia by Adam Young from Owl City and musically adapt Armin van Buuren has been blasting it’s way across the internet, but never given much attention. Well, now there is an oficial music video for it that features none other than Adam himself! It’s rare for a single this unknown to get a music video, much a legit one with the artist himself featured in it.

Now, I’m not quite sure what is going on in the video, obviously she is recreating memories of a love she has lost, but at times it comes off a little creepy. Watch it and you will know what I mean. The romance scenes seem a tad rehearsed and fake, but hey, Adam is a musician, not an actor! The girl however, she could do better and to my knowledge she is an actress. For example, notice when she wakes up towards the end…she just pops her eyes open! Normally, to seem less scripted, one would expect a slow opening of the eyes for a more dramatic realization that reality has sunk in. Anyway, we liked the video, watch and determine for yourself!

 

All About Us

Posted on by Posted in Music .

The new song All About Us by He Is We, featuring Owl City, is well, a love song. However, it has more to offer than just being a cute love song. He Is We is an indie group that I haven’t listened to before, and I was impressed with this. Adding in the more familiar voice of Owl City just added a bonus to what could have already been a good song. Their voices go so well together!

So, maybe you’re not convinced by a love song. The video is very powerful. Not only is it beautiful, literally! The visual aspect of it is wonderful. The scenery, and backgrounds are remarkable. The video has a deeper more beautiful and unexpected meaning. It’s sweet and emotional, showing two overly adorable lovers. The twist is that the girl had cancer, and by the end of the video has lost her hair from chemotherapy. The boy is staying with her, taking her out, and even gives a ring.

After listening to the song, and putting it with the video, it’s given it a deeper meaning. It made me smile, and feel. Also, now I’m more curious about the group He Is We and am actually going to look them up on iTunes right now. You can listen and buy All About Us on iTunes!
