来自美国明尼苏达州奥瓦通纳（Owatonna, Minnesota）的大学二年级生，Adam Young，于2007年组建了Owl City乐队。他就是这支流行电子乐队的唯一成员，负责主音、合成器和编曲等工作。随之独立发行的首张专辑《Of June》，在2007年的夏天，为电音界吹来一股凉爽的清风。
《The Saltwater Room》的曲风是Electronica和Pop的完美融合，似乎又有一点Indie Rock的味道。饶有趣味的歌词有如抒情诗一般的迷人魅力，又颇具美学的魔力。你会惊叹于冰冷的键盘上怎能滑落如此圆润的音符，电子元素的巧妙运用使得整首歌饱满而不失利落，跃动着生机盎然的温情。后半段出现的女声好像奶油一样，甜甜的与曲子的整体气质都很搭。
I opened my eyes last night and saw you in the low light
Walking down by the bay, on the shore, staring up at the planes that aren’t there anymore
I was feeling the night grow old and you were looking so cold
Time together is just never quite enough
When you and I are alone, I’ve never felt so at home
What will it take to make or break this hint of love
We need time, only time
