I love taking advantage of the fact that every Neutral Milk Hotel fan is secretly waiting for a new NMH album, even though each one of 'em knows that Jeff Mangum is as reclusive as a Sasquatch and that hoping for a new long-player from these particular Elephant Sixers is as futile as hoping for the Second Coming. However, despite that futility, and, if you’re like me, you pacify your desire for new Neutral Milk Hotel material by routinely buying a new copy of In The Aeroplane Over The Sea every six months, pretending that it’s the first time you ever heard it. I know you do it!
If you are like me, then I’ve got some good news, because at least now you can get a somewhat new album by the band. “How Kid Midnight?” Well, Merge Records has announced that it will be reissuing both In The Aeroplane Over The Sea and On Avery Island on vinyl. Both albums will be available on November 3 and, even though no bonus material will be included, the albums will be pressed on 180 gram vinyl for the first time and will come with a coupon for a free download!
If that’s not good enough for you... well... have fun waiting for the reunion concert.
