We dropped word on Owl City last month, and since then, Adam Young, the man behind the owl, is at it again. This time, Owl City brings us “Strawberry Avalanche,” which you can stream here.

This is what Young had to say about his latest release:

“I spent last summer mountain climbing with a host family in Tibet and actually witnessed a live avalanche from across an immense ravine. Needless to say, it was both terrifying and awe inspiring. After returning home that night, I slouched on the couch and ate a bowl of Cheerios with fresh strawberries. I thought getting hit in the face by a huge strawberry avalanche would be the most romantic way to ‘buy the farm.’ And I’m the farthest thing from a farmer.”

See? Inspiration comes from all the strangest places. If that’s the case, then I’ll be sending my regards to red wine and good literature instead of Cheerios and death mountains—but, to each his own.

“Strawberry Avalanche” is the second in the series of early released singles from the new album, Ocean Eyes, that will be available to the public on September 1st.

In celebration of the new album, Owl City will be kicking off a Fall 2009 tour that you have no excuse to not be a part of if you attend the pre-sale. The pre-sale for the new tour starts this Friday, June 5th at 12 pm EST through Friday June 12 at 10 pm via MySpace Music.
