New Sufjan Stevens Track Sounds Like Owl City

ZACH THAT:

I'm not claiming that Sufjan ripped off Owl City...but the background melody and vocal cadence of his new track Too Much sounds hilariously similar to Owl City "Fireflies".  Listen and tell me if I'm crazy.

You're crazy.

Crazy, yes...but I hear it. You just have to ignore the Owl City kids voice...and then you hear it.

Similar beats don't necessarily equal similar sounds. This sounds more like Of Montreal, to be honest.

Sean, it's not in the beats it's in the keyboards. I hear it. Totally digging this arrangement though, whereas, Owl City lost me at hello.
