Neutral Milk Hotel Thesis - Parts 4 & 5

Glorious Noise has uploaded Parts 4 & 5 of the Neutral Milk Hotel thesis on In the Aeroplane, Over the Sea.

Here's a fun part:

""Ghost" returns to E major, opening with an upbeat strumming pattern, the roots on the downbeat and the full chords on the off-beats in the style of bluegrass or Irish folk. The Irish influences come to the fore in the untitled adjoined instrumental track that follows. This propulsive strumming technique endows the song with a sense of urgency. After a few measures of unaccompanied guitar, the explosively distorted bass from "King of Carrot Flowers Part 2 and 3" enters, evoking the same implication of superhuman power. "Ghost" shares that song's sublime spiritual connotations, as well as the death-obsessed frenzy of "Holland, 1945."
