OWL CITY PENS THEME SONG TO LEGEND OF THE GUARDIANS

Multi-platinum international sensation Owl City has penned a new song – “To the Sky” – to serve as the theme to Director Zack Snyder’s animation debut Legend Of The Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole (Warner Bros. Pictures/Village Roadshow Pictures).  Based on Kathryn Lasky novels Guardians of G’Hoole, the film opens nationwide in theatres and IMAX on September 24^th in both 3D and 2D and will be accompanied by an original motion picture soundtrack that will be released on September 21^st by WaterTower Music. Owl City’s “To the Sky” is featured prominently within the film and then plays again as it soars over the end title sequence.  It’ll be released as the soundtrack’s first single and will be accompanied by a music video that incorporates themes and imagery from the film.  In addition, “To the Sky” anchors the exciting soundtrack which includes the heroic musical landscapes of the Academy Award nominee and BAFTA award winning Davis Hirschfelder’s score.

This past year has been a whirlwind for Owl City, whose debut album, Ocean Eyes, was released in July 2009 and was certified platinum less than a year later on April 1^st 2010.  The first single, “Fireflies,” is now triple platinum and hit the #1 spot on the Hot 100 twice, as well as going #1 in 23 countries around the world.  Over the past year, Owl City has amassed an impressive touring record and a slew of critical acclaim (New York Times, Rolling Stone, People, Entertainment Weekly, USA Today, etc.) and Adam Young is currently working on Owl City’s follow up to Ocean Eyes – due out early 2011.
