The answer to yesterday's #ThemeTunePopQuiz
All 4 songs featured the eerie sound of a musical saw. Wiki: "Capable of continuous glissando (portamento), the sound creates an ethereal tone, very similar to the theremin"
Julian Koster plays it in Neutral Milk Hotel & Joel Eckhouse plays it on Mercury Rev's song "Holes".
Trivia: Marlene Dietrich learned to play the saw while she was shooting the film Café Elektric in Vienna in 1927
