Neutral Milk Hotel: King of Carrot Flowers Pt. 1
[purchase]
From one of the weirdest, most endearing, and at times most disturbing albums in my library, King Of Carrot Flowers is not a tale of vegetable royalty, but of childhood angst and discovery. This, the opening track of the album, sets the stage for a frantic and wild ride through Jeff Mangum's fevered mind. As the folks at AMG wrote, this album is either the work of a genius or of a crackpot. I'd definitely recommend checking it out.
I can't imagine anyone perusing music blogs hasn't heard of In the Aeroplane Over the Sea. After all, it's generally considered the best indie album of all time.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely - I wasn't suggesting anything to the contrary. Maybe I should have said "check it out, if you haven't already".
ReplyDeleteHey, BWR ~
