About this album

Released: 10 Feb 1998 11 tracks (39:45)
In the Aeroplane Over the Sea is the second studio album by American indie rock band Neutral Milk Hotel. The album was released in February 1998 in the United States on Merge Records and in May 1998 in the United Kingdom on Blue Rose Records.

Mangum moved from Athens to Denver, Colorado to prepare the bulk of the album’s material with producer Robert Schneider, this time at Schneider’s newly-created Pet Sounds Studio at the home of Jim McIntyre.

The album’s cover was a collaboration between Mangum and R.E.M.’s staff designer, Chris Bilheimer. The general design reflects the taste of Mangum: Bryan Poole said that ” was always into that old-timey, magic, semi-circus, turn-of-the-century, penny arcade kind of imagery.” One particular piece Mangum showed to Bilheimer was an old European postcard with an image of people bathing at a resort, which was then cropped and altered for the cover. Bilheimer also designed a broadsheet-style lyrics sheet for the album, and inadvertently titled “Holland, 1945” in the process; Mangum wanted to use either “Holland” or “1945” for the song, and Bilheimer suggested he use both.

The album continues to sell well, and was the sixth-best-selling vinyl album in 2008.

    This album was inspired by Anne Frank's diary so I think we can safely assume that anyone who hates it is a nazi. [2]

    This just clicked for me. It was a slow time grower (mostly indifference at first), but no I really like what I hear. It's still not Top 15 ever material for me, but it's certainly up there. I certainly do need to grab myself more folk records, though. The earnest delivery of most (good) vocalists is amazing.
