Neutral Milk Hotel

This band has far exceeded my expectations. The first time I heard their album In the Aeroplane Over the Sea I only liked two of the songs on the album. This was mostly due to my cousin also only liking those two songs and only playing those songs. I suppose their music is a bit of an acquired taste in that sense. Regardless I really enjoy both the theming, lyrics and instrumentation of this band. A tale I heard (not sure if it's true) is that in the song "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea" there strange ghost like sound that plays in the background and is then later featured was created by taking a hand saw and using a violin bow on it while bending it back and forth. Once again, not sure if that's true but I thought it was interesting none the less. Overall I find them to be a really unique and cool band with a nice chill vibe. I hope you agree. I'll link some of their songs down below for you to listen to.
