‘The likes of Umbrella Beach, Cave In and Vanillla Twilight blend bittersweet longing, wintry elemental imagery and melodies that worm their way into your consciousness with effortless aplomb.’ – Q Magazine

‘The third album from MySpace phenom Owl City, a.k.a., Adam Young, is Pristine pop electronica: synths and strings meld seamlessly into dreamy, summery atmospherics…The result is a skillfully crafted record that feels blissfully monochromatic.’ – Spin

2010 saw Young reach our shores for the first time in support of Cobra Starship. Since his previous visit, Young has supported John Mayer and Maroon 5 on their American tours and is now returning to Australasia for his very own headline shows.
