Julian Koster parts with prized instrument
Ever fancied owning the banjo from 'In the Aeroplane Over the Sea'? Well now you can, with Julian Koster placing the instrument on sale.
'In the Aeroplane Over the Sea' has enjoyed a strange journey. Undoubtedly a highpoint of Neutral Milk Hotel's all-too-brief career, the album has reached an audience who display a rare sense of devotion.
Which is why the current auction is so fascinating. Julian Koster performed on 'In the Aeroplane Over the Sea' but now works with The Magic Tapes, and the collective are in need of funds to complete an upcoming tour.
As a result, The Magic Tapes have opened a Kickstarter fund. Amongst the goodies on sale are signed posters, test pressings and even dinner with the group - alongside Julian Koster's prized banjo.
Yup, the same banjo which adorns the ornate, beautiful arrangements on 'In the Aeroplane Over the Sea'. Join the Kickstarter fund HERE.
