I'm no authority on the organisation or activities of bands, but really, one would think that if you are the sole member of a band, you'd just keep your name? Make sense? No? Okay, let's backtrack a bit...
Popular synth-driven pop project Owl City is composed of just one member: 23-year-old Adam Young. Young has now announced that he will release an album entitled "An Airplane Carried Me To Bed" under the name Sky Sailing. Confused? Yeah, so am I.
The new project will see Adam's vocals on songs which have a focus on guitar and piano sounds rather than the synth-pop sound that seems to have defined Owl City. But really, would it not be easier and less confusing for all involved if he just kept the name Owl City? This name is already so widely known, that there is sure to be confusion when the new album is released on the 13th of June, and I can already anticipate many comments of "OMG this dude sounds just like Owl City".
Having listened to the sample of one of new songs, I honestly can't say I hear any difference, except for the fact that it's a little slower than Owl City's songs. This said, I do look forward to hearing this new project of Adam Young's, as I am a big fan of Owl City.
