I found Neutral Milk Hotel through a video by the YouTuber Whang!, and I listened to the album In The Aeroplane Over The Sea and I was hooked. I've been listening to them for months now, and I listen to them almost every day. Every song is filled with so much emotion and talent.

They are an indie rock / psychedelic folk band. They specialize in very surreal lyrics set to purposefully low quality guitars among other unique instruments, all sang beautifully by Jeff Magnum. It would mean a lot to me if yall could give them a chance. I would certainly start with In The Aeroplance Over the Sea, it is actually a masterpiece.

This song is a sandwich because it goes like:

  1. Clean and melodic section
  2. Brutal, distorted, and thumpy 9-string guitar breakdown that takes your virginity multiple times just by listening to it once
  3. Clean and melodic section

He plays an 8 string guitar here so he can play bass at the same time. With a Leslie rotary speaker simulator, his unique style produced a sound similar to that of a Hammond B3 organ - an instrument he set out to imitate.

A long time ago we reached the lands

Where we now live

The rich nature fed us

And it was where we gained our strength

What our forefathers possessed

Our descendants will inherit

They are the Lands of the People

They must remain in the possession of the people (x3)

Then they came, those whose eyes are different

Introduced their way of life

They taught their holy scriptures

And wanted to influence everything

Their crowned heads

Bid them to rule our lands

Take our riches

And sell them over our heads (x3)

To you whom we have elected

We've been asleep

As a united people we will rise again

What our forefathers possessed

Our descendants must inherit

They are the Lands of the People

They should be governed as one

They must remain in the people's possession (x2)

You can hear the section in context here.

As someone who is a massive Animals as Leaders fan, this gets a thumbs up from me.

BUT

As a queer person who is ex-Catholic and lost my family over them choosing bigotry over accepting me, it feels a bit awkward for me to see a Catholic priest do something this neat.

I found this because Tosin himself actually shared it.
