A synthetic flying machine rumbles overhead. Aluminum loudspeakers announce the date. Time shifts. And everyone becomes someone they used be. Salty Brine takes on the ghosts of World War II, embarrassing journal entries from days gone by, and Neutral Milk Hotel's indie rock triumph In The Aeroplane Over the Sea in this month's edition of The Living Record Collection.
How Strange It Is, created and performed by Salty Brine, is directed by Max Reuben with arrangements by Richard Aufrichtig and costume design by Heather McDevitt Barton. The show features performances by musicians Richard Aufrichtig, Rebecca Kushner and Alex Thrailkill.
