IT’S hard to imagine how much better things could get for Adam Young right now. He’s the man behind the synthpop musical project Owl City, which has really taken off in recent months.

Young turned to music as a result of his insomnia and created a new wave of techno.

He has fashioned an elegant and seemingly effortless connection between fashionably arty, retro-nouveau electro pop, and fresh-faced, sweet melancholic, hit-song writing.

The crowd was made up of mostly girls who knew every word to every track, copying Young’s sweet American voice.

Songs, Air Traffic and On The Wing showed off his remarkable talent, with the audience bouncing along to the sweet modern-day vibes.

The beauty of the music is Young’s active imagination. He has a substance and all-round creative excellence that similar bands can’t match. The standout song and number one hit, Fireflies, is a bubbly joyous electro pop number.

Encore Hello Seattle brought the house down, and it was the perfect end to Young’s set.

Owl City have an innocence that breathes fresh air into the electro pop revival, exactly what the music industry needs.
