Owl City To Release New Album 'The Midsummer Station' & Tour Europe

Jun 08 2012

The new full-length studio album from Owl City will be titled 'The Midsummer Station' and will be released on 14th August 2012 worldwide, and 17th September 2012 in the UK. The album artwork (see right) was recently revealed after thousands of fans tweeted and posted on Facebook in order to unlock it.

Owl City will tour Europe this summer in support of the new album, with dates in Denmark (31st July), Germany (1st & 2nd August), Netherlands (4th) and King's College London, UK (6th). The European tour follows dates in Canada and the US during July.

The new album includes recent radio single 'Shooting Star' and Owl City's Adam Young says, "I feel like I'm in my groove more than ever and I'm more excited about my upcoming record than I've ever been about any other record before. I used to hate listening to my own music because all I wanted to do was reverse time and go back into the studio to turn up this track or to add more compression to that part or whatever. It wasn't massive brushstrokes but it was always something and it bummed me out big time.

With this record I feel like I can finally take a deep breath and listen without holding it in because I've finally figured out how to let the music play, let the music exist, to listen with a new frame of reference, and now that I can do that, I am floored - because I'm so unbelievably proud of what I'm hearing. I've never made a record that gave me goosebumps because it made me feel, really feel something. But this one does that to me because it's so different and new. It's the embodied belief of an artist who believes he should never repeat himself or look back - but to create in the moment and to do things that make him feel infinite."
