Neutral Milk Hotel- In The Aeroplane Over The Sea

If I were to make a list of songs that you probably have never heard, but should, this song would make the cut.
It has a catchy pop/folksy melody and lyrics that recall a young Bob Dylan.
"What a beautiful face
I have found in this place
That is circling all round the sun..."
Neutral Milk Hotel were only together for a few years in the 90's.
The band was formed by Jeff Mangum, who helped form the successful "Elephant 6 Recording Company" in Athens, GA.
Despite growing popularity, the group disbanded in 1999 after Mangum became disenchanted with touring and the music press, later having a nervous breakdown.
After this, the band had no choice but to turn down all requests for shows, including a support slot for REM.
Let me know what you think.
