 "I was 22, alone with nothing to do," sings Adam Young on "I Live Alone." That's roughly the story of Sky Sailing, which preceded his other one-man band, the multiplatinum Owl City. The latter resembled the Postal Service, and this set, mostly completed in 2007, recalls Ben Gibbard's other band, Death Cab for Cutie.

| Internet phenomenon Owl City (effervescent 23-year-old Adam Young) cites the Finding Nemo soundtrack as one of his biggest influences. His resulting cutesy digi-pop is created on a laptop in his parents' basement in Minnesota and yielded last year's hit "Fireflies" - the most downloaded iTunes single in America. This follow-up to his major-label debut, released as side-project Sky Sailing, delivers more bleepy, twinkly soundscapes. "Brielle" is pretty, but essentially this is an album of excess material for the (admittedly legion) committed fans....full text |
