Owl City : Fireflies . . . Ha Ha



I stumbled across this great review of Owl City's hit single, Fireflies.

Reviewed by Pitchfork, the single received a gracious rating of 1. That's right, less than two and a bit more than nothing (though not much).

To summarize the review, I've selected this passage to highlight the essence of Fireflies:
"Like most 'brought to you by...' attempts to connect with the disaffected, it's delivered in an emasculated, cloying wheeze that serves as a cutesy defense mechanism for a guy who's trying so hard to be sincere, he forgets to say what he actually means"
Read the review in its entirety. It is intensely gratifying. I promise.
