  3. Postal Service meets Ben Folds... but then oddly autotuned and overly glossy.

  5. The similarity to the Postal Service and Death Cab kind of reminded me of different synths that sound similar. Similar but different VCOs, filters and modulations, but with Postal and Death Cab they share the same VCO. When I first heard Owl City I thought it was a total rip off. Now I hear how they are different. It's a different vibe. Same can be said for Silversun Pickups and the Smashing Pumpkins.

  6. I don't know about the lights on top, but the organ is definitely a Lowrey Teenie Genie, very similiar to one I have.
