It has been over two years since Owl City has released a full-length album. He has released a few singles since then including �Humbug,� �Not All Heroes Wear Capes,� and �Waving Through a Window (From Dear Evan Hansen).�
His new album Cinematic, is going to tell us the story behind the man who started Owl City, Adam Young. It is being released through 3 EPs called Reel 1, Reel 2, and Reel 3. The first song released from the album is �All My Friends.� The full album will be released on June 1, 2018. It is currently available for preorder on iTunes and Amazon. When you preorder Cinematic, you automatically get �All My Friends,� and you receive each Reel when it is released.
Adam Young started Owl City ten years ago in his parents� basement as a means of dealing with his insomnia. His first EP was Of June, released in 2007. His first full length album was Maybe I�m Dreaming, released in 2008. They both did really well on the Billboard Charts.
Owl City�s first hit song was �Fireflies,� which went platinum in April 2010. �Fireflies� recently went back up on the charts, where it reached #8 on the Billboard chart. It all started because of a tweet a fan sent. He wanted to know if each firefly hugged him 10,000 times, or if 1/10 of the fireflies hugged him. Young responded with a two-paragraph explanation and a little humor. (Young is known for his Twitter humor.)
