DONT BELIEVE THE HYPE

Oh Comely

Saturday, September 20, 2008










In the Aeroplane Over the Sea, is one of the those albums I never get sick of. It might take a few listens to really get into it, but most great albums are like that for me. Oh Comely is an eight minute masterpiece, my favorite on the album. Lyrics about "flesh licking ladies", "sister and mother and 500 families", "powerful pistons", "sugary sweet machines", "green fleshy flowers", and "some sort of time machine". Written and sung by the amazing Jeff Mangum, and arranged in a fuzzy, lo-fi, old-timey blend of dream-like imagery that is consistent throughout the record. This is a must have record in anyone's collection.
