Description

A cult masterpiece that defies genre and expectation. In The Aeroplane Over The Sea is Jeff Mangum’s surreal, emotionally raw meditation on love, loss, and memory—infused with cryptic lyricism and WWII imagery. Backed by fuzzed-out brass, bowed banjos, and shortwave radio textures, the album blends psychedelic folk with lo-fi punk energy, creating a sonic world that’s both intimate and apocalyptic.

This Merge Records gatefold reissue is pressed on 180g heavyweight vinyl, featuring a matte sleeve with full lyrics and artwork by Chris Bilheimer and Brian Dewan. Includes a digital download card and archival mastering by Golden Mastering.
