Music Video + Song Previews
Hey there hoots, it's me, ya blogger!!
I have been meaning to do this the past few days, but I am finally here and very excited to present the music video for All My Friends! According to Adam, there will be a total of three music videos, this one being the first in the set. From the way the first video pans out, it seems like it's telling a version his life story.
There's also a cameo of Adam and Abbey, as well as one from Abbey's friend Katie!
Without further ado, here is All My Friends:
Also, thanks to snydergirl on YouTube, the song previews for the entire album are up online. You can listen to them here if you haven't done so:
Let me know what your favorites are! I'm really looking forward to Fiji Water, Winners Never Quit, and Always.
Talk to you guys again soon
(PS: extra points to you if you got that buzzfeed unsolved reference in the beginning)

All My Friends
Hello hoots, Sarah here!
There's some exciting stuff going on in the OC universe, but first of all, I'd like to thank Aidan for that last post!
Today I want to talk about the new song: All My Friends.
I will admit that I was a little let down by this new tune.
Starting with the album's cover art, I gotta say it does look like a movie poster, but I personally feel it's just a little too crowded. Overall, I like the general aesthetic but some things on the art are just so small I have a hard time figuring out what they are. Also... is that a turtle?
Onto the song.
The more I listen, the better it sounds. But the chorus is definitely better than the verses. It's so danceable. GOSH I LOVE THE CHORUS. Personally, the verses kind of suck. It's not really the lyrics, again, it's just the delivery. It sounds like he's trying to rap and he's just not that good at rapping. It reminds me of this tweet:
That being said, I do enjoy the song (I'm listening to it as I'm writing this), and I am very excited to see what the others are going to sound like, especially "Fiji Water".
Comment below and tell me what you think of the new song! I'd love to hear!
Also, don't forget to sign up on owlcitymusic.com for the album's bonus content!
See you soon!

Cinematic
Hello, all! It is me, the humble creator of this lovely blog. I hate to beat Sahara and Cola to the punch, but I am so excited to personally share this news with you.
Adam Young has announced this morning that his new full-length album will be called Cinematic and will be available June 1, 2018!
I will let Adam fill you in on all the details himself with this announcement video posted just moments ago. In it he explains the build up and inspirations that have led to his new music, and the path to the full release. I won’t spoil anything else here - GO WATCH THE VIDEO!
Much love for you all!

New music is coming soon! + the winner of the sign off contest
Hello hoots, Sarah here!
As you may, or may not know, there have been some awesome new updates in the Owl City fandom! A few weeks ago, there was a call for actors/actresses on Minnesota Film and Television website for an Owl City music video. On Reddit, one user talked about someone on Instagram who had been posting a lot of pictures from the set of the video. Since the photos were on Instagram Stories, I didn't get a chance to see them, but one Reddit user said there was an Ocean Eyes vinyl that was laying on the floor in one of the photos!
I'm pretty excited about this. Not sure if the Ocean Eyes vinyl is going to mean the album is going to have a similar sound, a blast from the past, or if it's just an easter egg in the video, but either way, it's still really nice that Adam's including it!
I feel like at this point, it's safe to say the album is complete. I don't think they'd be making music videos if it weren't. But, if the whole album isn't done, we at least know one single is finished and ready to be released very soon!
Also, I'd like to thank the winner of the sign-off contest! Huge thanks to Northern Sky from Reddit/the Owl City discord! I love this sign-off so much, it reminds me of Beautiful Times <3
Until next time,

No Entries... and Maybe I Know Why?
Hello friends, Sarah here!
So, I never did receive any entries for the sign-contest, and I think it was partly because I accidentally listed the WRONG EMAIL.I'm so dumb.
That being said, if you entered, please let me know and resend your entries to theowlcityfanblog@gmail.com.
So sorry about this!
All the best,
- Sarah

PS: We're thinking about adding a forum to the blog, so we can all discuss albums and theories! What do you think about that?

An Introduction, Part 2
Hi there everybody!
Sorry to keep you waiting so long (oh the suspense, I know) but I'm finally here! So you all have met the wonderful Sarah, but I'd also like to introduce myself to you all, and perhaps you could introduce yourself to me as well?
I go by the name Cola, as in the soda. I'm in my sophomore year of high school, and I love art and reading. I also adore owls, and of course Owl City, as well as a band called Relient K! I've been a hootowl for nearly four years now. I actually got into Owl City just a few months before this very blog was created, although I didn't find this blog until late 2015. This is the first blog I've ever run (although, I will admit that Sarah does most of the stuff around here since she's a lot more experienced with blogging) but I can't wait to get to know you all.
As Sarah mentioned, we've got a lot of stuff we plan to do with the blog. We're bringing it back from the dead! That means we'll (hopefully) be updating a lot more frequently now that there's two of us. Whenever there's Owl City news of any sort we'll post it here, and we may also have some discussions about Owl City related stuff. We're also hoping to hear from you guys. Sarah and I want to be a lot more interactive, and we'd also like to hear all of your suggestions and comments!
Leave an introduction below if you'd like, and expect to hear from us in the near future!

An Introduction, Part 1
Hello fellow hoots! I'm very humbled and excited to have the opportunity to be one of this blog’s new owners! Before we get too deep in the exciting world of new Owl City news, I'd like to introduce myself.
My name is Sarah, but some people call me “Sahara” or “Rah”. I recently graduated high school, and I have a passion for blogging/writing, gemstones, and photography! I am also the founder and current owner of two other blogs: The Freshest Blog in the World, and The Switchfoot Blog.
There's going to be a little bit of construction going on, mainly focusing on the theme of the blog, so please bear with us! We’re planning to bring you more Owl City content, like album reviews, contests/giveaways, and overall more posts in general. I'm also planning to revamp the podcast in the coming months!
As I said before, I'm so excited to be able to keep you updated on Owl City news! I discovered this blog in 2014, and it is what inspired me to start my own. I'm extremely blessed to have become such good friends with the person who helped spark my love for blogging. And don't worry; I've promised Aidan that we’ll take good care of you guys!
Stay tuned for another introduction from my favorite co-owner - who just so happens to be my lovely boyfriend - Cola!

PS: if you want to get to know me more or want to have a chat about all things Owl City, you can reach me by my personal Twitter or Instagram!

The Future Of The Blog
Hey, everyone. Your old pal Aidan here. I have some unfortunate news.
Due to circumstances beyond anyone's control, Imogen will no longer be running this blog. This is a difficult situation for us here at the blog to navigate, so I ask that you are respectful of Imogen's privacy at this time and understand that she is unavailable for comment in regards to the blog and her reasons for departing. All I am at liberty to say is that this is the best choice for her, and I respect her decision.
However, as our favorite artist once said, with every mushroom cloud comes a silver lining.
Firstly, just to be clear, this blog is not going anywhere. We have worked too hard as a hootowl community to let this blog die or be removed. It has become somewhat of a home for our little corner of the fandom, and I wouldn't dream of taking that away from anybody. Therefore, as the owner of this lovely little blog, I will be passing the torch to the next rightful owners.
Every once in a while, someone comes around whose dedication to art is unmatched. Their passion for music and sharing it with the world is unbounded. And I am overjoyed that I have found not just one person but TWO people like this and I am so happy to call them both my friends.
And so, I am happy to introduce my good friends Sarah and Cola as the new co-authors of the Owl City Fan Club Blog!

I was introduced to Sarah for the first time when, perfectly enough, she emailed me in regards to the blog when I was still the head author. I was overjoyed to hear from a fan, but unfortunately, we didn't personally connect until last year, when we met almost completely by chance on Twitter. Ever since then, we have been best friends and co-bloggers ever since (be sure to ask her about her Relient K and Switchfoot blogs as well!).
I met Cola through Sarah a while back as well, and as mutual friends do, we conversed and became friends as well. I have complete confidence in these two in their ability to run this blog with professionalism and honesty and have fun while doing it. I'm so excited to hand off my beloved baby of a blog to them, not only because of their blogging talent but because I know them personally and trust that they will love and care for it the way Imogen and myself have done in the past.

I will still absolutely be checking in and posting here from time to time, although with my brand new college schedule, I'm not sure when that will be. However, I'll be keeping in constant contact with your brand new co-authors to make sure everything is running smoothly.
Thank you for sticking with the Owl City Fan Club Blog. As the proud father of this project, it brings me unmeasurable joy to have seen it grow and change over the years with your love and participation. Your continued support means more to me than you could ever know. Thank you so much.
Next up, your new authors!
