jj- High Summer
If Owl City was drugged...
Between the bland, space-pop instrumentation and the recycled raptruisms, there's not a whole lot of substance on High Summer, and despite the 14 minute runtime, I found myself bored. The sleepiness is not ameliorated by Elin, who is frustratingly softspoken, and I'm not sure if this is function of her natural voice or some sort of shock value gimmick she's trying to create as she stunts and cusses."I've got cameras in my face/ and i guess the revolution will be televised", she whispers unconvincingly, and I get the feeling that they've never really listened to Gil Scott-Heron.
