Ocean Eyes is the 2009 sophomore album of synthpop artist Adam Young, who goes by the name Owl City. The album features guest vocals by Relient K vocalist Matt Theissen on "Fireflies", "Cave In", "The Bird and the Worm" and "Tidal Wave." It was released on July 14, 2009 to iTunes, and on July 28, 2009 to stores. On July 14th, 2009, the song "Fireflies" was chosen as the Single of the Week by the iTunes music store, making the album peak at #2 on the store. The album sold approximately 18,000 copies digitally in its debut week.

He's approaching Platinum yet he's gotten little love on here surprisingly (to me).
Haven't really gotten into his album but I must say as of today, I deeply dig If My Heart Was a House.

There's nothing official out yet, but I got an email from Owl City's site about the sophomore album, which is entitled "All Things Bright And Beautiful." A little more info here: owlcityblog.com/2011/01/17/the-11th-hour/

I liked his first album. Though Fireflies was way overplayed, he deserved all the success.

I doubt we'll hear much of anything from this. Maybe a brief Hot AC appearance from the first single.

I loved his first album. Can't wait to hear this one. I hope the first single comes out soon, like in early February maybe?

I'm interested in this - I liked Ocean Eyes a lot. It had a few misfires (Dental Care, anyone?) but for the most part it was soothing, innocent pop music. Interested to see if he can follow it up with something just as good or better.
I agree that there won't be much radioplay to come from it but it will still have a decent following.

Let's not mention "Dental Care" ever again, kay? I loved "Meteor Shower," I just wish that it was longer than two minutes.

I liked Sky Sailing's "Brielle" (single that I'm pretty sure did absolutely nothing) as well (for those who don't know, Sky Sailing was another Adam Young project that was more guitar, less electronic).
