Hi, it’s Adam. I’m thrilled to announce a new Owl City album is coming.
March 24th is the day.
The title of the album is “Coco Moon.”
“Coco Moon” is made up of 11 songs because I like the number 11. Some songs on the album are autobiographical, meaning you had to be there. Writing is how I prefer to sort things out, so I turned some of my journal entries into songs.
Some songs on “Coco Moon” are metaphorical in a story kind of way. I like to read books because books take me places. When I pick up a book, I leave planet Earth. I wrote a few songs inspired by this.
And then some songs on “Coco Moon” are odd. Meaning, some have unusual structures, some don’t make a lot of sense, a few are extremely wordy, others are a little too long. Creative oddity is beautiful to me so I embraced it.
The point is that “Coco Moon” is a very Owl City album. It is quirky. It is odd. It is unapologetically myself. I made an album that is exactly the way it was supposed to be, not an album that popular culture, or algorithms, or analytics, or anyone else on planet Earth told me to make. I wrote me. Average, ordinary, weird me.
CS Lewis said to Tolkien, “If they won’t write the kinds of books we want to read, we shall have to write them ourselves.”
Amen to that.
I started by imagining an album I wanted to listen to. The result is “Coco Moon.” I’m so grateful and honored to be able to share it with you soon.
What I mean by soon is March 24th.

嗨，我是雅丹。我很高兴地宣布，Owl City的新专辑即将发行。
就在3月24日这一天。
专辑的名字是 "Coco Moon"。
"Coco Moon "由11首歌组成，因为我喜欢11这个数字。专辑中的一些歌曲是自传性的，意味着你必须前往那里。写作是我喜欢的整理事情的方式，所以我把我的一些日记条目变成了歌。
"可可月"中的一些歌曲是以一种故事的方式进行隐喻。我喜欢看书，因为书会带我到一些地方。当我拿起一本书，我就离开了地球。我写了几首以此为灵感的歌曲。
然后"可可月"中的一些歌曲很奇怪。意思是说，有些有不寻常的结构，有些没有什么意义，有几首是极度的文字，其他的歌会有点太长。创造性的怪异对我来说是美丽的，所以我拥抱它。
重点是，"可可月"是一张很有Owl City特色的专辑。它是怪异的。它是古怪的。它是不折不扣的自我表达。我做了一张完全是它应该有的样子的专辑，而不是一张流行文化、算法、分析或地球上任何其他人告诉我应该做的专辑。我写了我自己。普通、平凡、奇怪的我。
CS Lewis对Tolkien说："如果他们不写我们想看的书，我们就得自己写。"
这话说的太对了。
我首先想象了一张我想听的专辑。结果是"可可月"。我非常感激和荣幸能够很快与你们分享它。
我所说的很快是指3月24日。
