A fuzzy masterpiece of experimental lo-fi recording, the album wraps its ragged pop songs in ribbons of loops, marching-band squawks, and Casio noodling; the opener, \"Song Against Sex,\" is as much a manifesto as a kickoff, a self-propelled marvel hopped up on rapid-fire wordplay and a stunningly ramshackle melody punctuated by bloated trombone moans.  Throughout the record, Jeff Mangum's wheels threaten to fly off at any time - his songs are cryptic and crazed, his ideas fast and furious, and together they force the home-recording concept out of the basement and into a brave new world. - itunes\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCD Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease Date: March 26, 1996\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecord Label: Merge Records\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUPC: 036172940325\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Discs: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Neutral Milk Hotel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":23771987585,"sku":"Neutral Milk Hotel (2)","price":15.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1398\/5745\/files\/Neutral_Milk_Hotel_On_Avery_Island_CD.jpg?v=1764942753"},{"product_id":"neutral-milk-hotel-avery-island-vinyl","title":"On Avery Island Vinyl LP","description":"Vinyl edition of On Avery Island, the debut release from Neutral Milk Hotel,  pressed on hi-quality 180 gram vinyl.
