The Midsummer Station is the fourth studio album written by Owl City. It is due for release on August 20, 2012 in the United Kingdom, and the following day in the United States.
Writing and development
On May 15, 2012, Young released the Shooting Star EP, which consisted of four songs that would be featured on The Midsummer Station. Many criticized the EP, saying it was very different from Young's previous works. On his blog, Young defended his choice for the new sound of the EP and the album, stating that he believes "it's a bummer for an artist of any kind to hear, 'Yeah it's great but it's a lot like your previous work.' (...) Creativity is all about pushing boundaries and pressing onward".[3] In an interview with PureVolume, Young stated that the tracks on this record are much darker, with more influence of his own dreams, nightmares and self-reflection.[4]
The album was originally planned to have a release date of August 14, 2012 worldwide, apart from the United Kingdom where it would be released on September 17, 2012.[5] On June 21, 2012, it was announced that the worldwide release date would be pushed back to August 21, 2012.[6] On July 12, 2012, Young announced via Twitter that the UK release date would be brought forward to August 20, 2012.[2]
