Perhaps these guys are old news to most of you but I’ve just discovered the incredible 1998 release of Neutral Milk Hotel’s [i:3d84560381]In the Aeroplane Over the Sea[/i:3d84560381]. If you haven’t heard it yet you’re missing out… it’s an amazing tripped-out bundle of contradictions about life, death, pain, pleasure, love, sex, and dreams all at the same time. I mean, this guy has a really unique outlook on life and in the last month this album has come to mean so very much to me.

I guess I’d describe as an incomprehensibly cryptic, indie-rockish Syd Barret-esque collection of insane genius. If you like the Decemberists, or Iron and Wine, or teh Shins, check this out.

Crazy! A friend of mine just gave me this disc. I can’t believe I’ve never heard it before. It’s fascinating.
