Postmodern ironists cloaked behind a veil of buoyantly melodic and lushly romantic synth pop confections, Pet Shop Boys' cheeky, smart, and utterly danceable music established them among the most commercially and critically successful groups of their era.
Always remaining one step ahead of their contemporaries, the British duo navigated the constantly shifting landscape of modern dance-pop with rare grace and intelligence, moving easily from disco to house to techno with their own distinctive image remaining completely intact. Satiric and irreverent -- yet somehow strangely affecting -- Pet Shop Boys transcended the seeming disposability of their craft, offering wry and thoughtful cultural commentary communicated by the Morse code of au courant synth washes and drum-machine rhythms.

Owl City is the name of the alternative dance project formed by Adam Young in 2007. Among Young's styles of influence are disco and European electronic 1980s synthpop and new wave. He cites Imogen Heap and Boards of Canada as pioneers to his sounds, which has often been compared to that of Ben Gibbard's Death Cab For Cutie or his offshoot The Postal Service. Having recorded a No.1 hit single in the US with Fireflies, becoming the fastest-selling electronic/alternative track, he looks to gain the same kind of success on this side of the pond.
