In the Aeroplane Over the Sea

A Neutral Milk Hotel cover, and the first studio recording with my new group. Coming soon to your town!

YAY, this is different than the version that was on your website isn't?

Very nice. It's funny because the thing I like about the original is how muddy it is, and the thing I like about your version is how clean it is.

Most excellent indeed!

Thanks! jessamyn, I recorded King of Carrot Flowers Part 1 last summer, but I never did Aeroplane before.

Really nice. You definitely preserved the gypsy/carnival/jubilant feel of the original, but I have to say this is more pleasant to listen to. Just the right touch of reverb, gorgeous layering on the arrangement, and the bridge just makes my heart ache. The girls from Eisley covered this not too long ago; your version kicks that one's ass too.

Amazing! That synth near the end sounds like its dying. Perfect instrumentation.
