A masterpiece that crystallizes the purity of indie rock
Neutral Milk Hotel's take on the lo-fi aesthetic is at its finest.
Jeff Mangum's distinctive vocals and poetic lyrics, combined with a lo-fi sound, create a unique worldview. The soundscape created by acoustic instruments and experimental recording techniques is simultaneously intimate and grandiose. The entire album, including the title track "In The Aeroplane Over The Sea," unfolds like a story, leaving a deep impression on the listener. This is an important work in the history of indie rock.
