Owl City debuts video for “Alligator Sky”

News 6 May 11 By

Nearly one month from the release of his highly anticipated new album All Things Bright and Beautiful, Owl City is releasing the new galactic mission themed music video for “Alligator Sky.”  The music video is debuting on Owl City’s website today, www.owlcitymusic.com.

“Alligator Sky,” features Los Angeles rapper Shawn Chrystopher.  “’Alligator’ and ‘sky’ are two words that don’t really go together, but conjure up an image, which fits the idea of the song,” and as Adam Young explains, is not your everyday song title. “It’s about how there are so many weird things coming at you every day. Why not just meet them head on and take charge even though you have no say over what’s going to happen? You and those around you are what matter most.”

All Things Bright and Beautiful is due out on June 14th on Universal Republic and is the follow-up full-length studio album to Owl City’s platinum-selling debut Ocean Eyes.  Released in July 2009, Ocean Eyes was certified platinum in just eight short months and earned Owl City a slew of critical acclaim (New York Times, Rolling Stone, People, Entertainment Weekly, USA Today, etc.).  Ocean Eyes’ sales were led by the runaway single “Fireflies” which is currently quadruple platinum in the US.  “Fireflies” hit #1 on the Hot 100 twice and found its’ way to the #1 spot in 24 countries around the world.

In support of the new album – All Things Bright And Beautiful – Owl City will be kicking off a headlining tour of the World in North America on June 13th at the historic Ryman Auditorium – confirmed dates below.  For the most up-to-date information, please visit www.owlcitymusic.com.
