Owl City - Shooting Star EP

All things get better with age right? Ok... That's not completely true in all circumstances. But in the case of Adam Young and Owl City, it's a fact. Each album is a progression forward, an artist getting better and refining their craft. Shooting Star is no exception. It's by far the best collective music that Adam Young has released as Owl City. The four song ep makes me want more music from Owl City and just makes me an even bigger fan.

The title track and Gold kick off the record in electronic pop perfection. It's what Owl City has always done but just done better. Shooting Star is upbeat and catchy while Gold is a nice ballad. Dementia is the standout track of the record. It's an ode to Adam Young's love of pop punk. The song features Mark Hoppus of Blink 182 and is an electric guitar driven rock song. It's something Young has put into the band's live show but it's not been on a record. Fans of Owl City will probably scratch their head for a second but it shouldn't last long because the track is fantastic. Take It All Away is another great slow jam that closes out this ep.

Excited to have new music from Owl City and Shooting Star is the best thing Adam Young has done with his electronic pop act by far. A great ep.
