Owl City
Fireflies synth project
Owl City is the electronic music project of American singer-songwriter Adam Young, known for dreamy synth-pop with whimsical, fantastical lyrics.
The project achieved mainstream success with the 2009 single "Fireflies," which topped charts worldwide.
The name evokes the project's atmospheric, nocturnal aesthetic: I listened to a lot of Owl City in high school.
