In the Aeroplane Over the Sea track listing | ||
The tenth, untitled track of In the Aeroplane Over the Sea is a song by Neutral Milk Hotel and the second to last track on their celebrated 1998 album. In the album's liner notes, the song isn't given a name, rather the track number "10." occupies an otherwise blank space. As such, the song is often referred to in a number of different ways, sometimes as "10.", sometimes as "Untitled", and sometimes simply as a blank space between quotations (" "). Allmusic lists the song as "The Penny Arcade in California"[1].
The track is the second instrumental song on the album, after "The Fool". An upbeat, joyous jam of sorts, the song features enthusiastic electric elements, heavy percussion by Jeremy Barnes and a lead melody performed by Michelle Anderson on the Uilleann pipes, a type of bagpipe.
The beginning of the song contains a guitar part carrying over from the ninth song on the album, "Ghost" while the end of the song carries over into the final track on the album, "Two-Headed Boy Pt. Two".
