Neutral Milk Hotel: In The Aeroplane Over The Sea (180g) Vinyl LP
$22.95
<p><i>When you were young...</i> If the opening guitar strums of "The King Of Carrot Flowers, Pt. One" are not immediately familiar to you, you've been missing out. The lush lo-fi proceedings of <i>In The Aeroplane Over The Sea</i> are leaps and bounds ahead of its predecessor, <a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="http://turntablelab.com/products/neutral-milk-hotel-on-avery-island-180g-free-mp3-vinyl-lp" target="_blank"><i>On Avery Island</i></a>. The songwriting seems to have grown beyond the confines of NMH's <strong>Elephant 6</strong> contemporaries. There are timeless and transcendental moments throughout the record that draw on the entire history of American rock and roll. It's a pastiche of psyche rock and punk, folk songs and Americana, committed to fuzzy tape, warts and all. Checkout "King Of Carrot Flowers Part 1," "Two-Headed Boy," "Holland, 1945" and "Communist Daughter" and you should be sold. A definite must for any fan of indie rock.</p> <ul> <li>180g black vinyl pressing</li> <li>gatefold sleeve</li> <li>original release year: 1998</li> <li>music label: Merge Records 2009</li> </ul> <h6>reviewed by Hank Ohs 11/2014</h6>
