Owl City - Sky Sailing

Sky Sailing was started as Adam Young's first solo project in 2006, before he started performing and recording as Owl City in 2007, though he left the project in favor of Owl City. One album has been released by the project - An Airplane Carried Me to Bed which was released on July 13, 2010, and features some of the early recordings of Adam Young, before he toured as Owl City. Upon the release of An Airplane Carried Me to Bed, Adam Young described the collection of songs on the Sky Sailing website:

“

I've kept these recordings secret for a long time and they've never seen the light of day until now. Long before Owl City was ever a spark of a flame, a lot of blue-collared working days were spent absentmindedly daydreaming about what would ultimately become this collection of songs. From the perfectionist musician's perspective, a song is never truly 'finished' but rather 'abandoned' and thus, after a lot of inspiration and reckless experimentation, I emerged from the basement with an 11 song record which I affectionately entitled, An Airplane Carried Me To Bed." - Adam Young
