    Owl City, 'Hot Air Balloon' -- Song Premiere

    Credit: Pamela LittkyWith the premiere of his new single, 'Hot Air Balloon,' one-man electro-band Owl City is ready to make some noise. Literally. Often compared to groups like the Postal Service, Adam Young would describe his sound as "sorta like apple shampoo soap bubbles... only, music." That's good enough for Kate Havenevik, who tweeted about Owl City recently. While Young will spend the summer honing his live act with both a headlining tour and a West Coast jaunt with Relient K, he'll also be releasing one single a month in anticipation of his new album, 'Ocean Eyes,' out September 1st.

    yeah, I pretty much LOVE Adam Young and his apple-scented bubbly music. Hot Air Balloon is an AMAZING song and I've been listening to it since he put it online :)

    As a balloonist, this is a great song. We are going to start using this during our rides here in the Indianapolis area.
