Owl City Premieres “Gold”

May 10th, 2012

James Shotwell

Owl City has premiered the first of four songs off his upcoming Shooting Star EP.

“Gold” features Adam’s signature soft-spoken croon, only without the soft synthesizer you remember from the past. Sorry kids, but Owl City has grown into full blown pop producer and “Gold” is the first step toward a bold future of ever crisper production than before. You can stream “Gold” after the jump.

Need more new Owl City? You’re in luck. A Little bird told us the entire Shooting Star EP will be on Soundcloud soon. Stay tuned!

REVIEW: Limp Bizkit – Gold Cobra

June 19th, 2011

James Shotwell

Is the return of Limp Bizkit perfect? No, but it is damn close. I have no doubt that anyone who previously loved Limp Bizkit will instantly fall in love with Gold Cobra, but the truly amazing part is just how universally appealing they still are. Seriously, if 2011 ends and Limp Bizkit aren’t once again among the biggest acts in the rock world, I will legitimately be shocked.
