It has now been 11 years since the last time we heard a new album from Elephant 6 soul-stirrers Neutral Milk Hotel, and we still don’t know if we’re ever going to hear another full-on rock album from the band or reclusive leader Jeff Mangum. If anything, NMH’s two albums have only grown in stature, especially 1998’s In the Aeroplane Over the Sea. The last time Aeroplane was reissued, Pitchfork dropped a 10.0 on it.

On November 3, Merge will reissue both Neutral Milk Hotel albums (Aeroplane and the 1996 full-length debut On Avery Island) on 180 gram vinyl. Both records will come with download codes so you’ll be able to get the albums at 320 kpbs. No bonus tracks or anything, but there’s no bad reason to buy these albums again.
