Neutral Milk Hotel

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

The self-described "fuzz-folk" project Neutral Milk Hotel was one of the primary outgrowths of the Elephant 6 Recording Company collective, a coterie of like-minded, lo-fi indie groups -- including the Apples (in stereo), the Olivia Tremor Control and Secret Square -- who shared musicians, ideas, and sensibilities. While ranging in sound and concept from solo acoustic work to full band performances, Neutral Milk Hotel essentially remained the work of Jeff Mangum, a singer/songwriter from the remote town of Ruston, LA. Ruston was also home to Robert Schneider ...[more]

 

 

VINYL FORMAT. The anxiously-awaited second album. Features Jeff's powerful solo acoustic work, full horn-section marches, history, religion, and sex -- everything you hoped for and more! Heartbreaking and wrenching, an absolute must-have.

There's a sadness in these songs that floats in from behind the music, hiding in the melody, convincing you that you're the one feeling all weepy. Don't be fooled - it's not you, it's them. Neutral Milk Hotel, and more importantly singer and songwriter Jeff Mangum, have grasped the nostalgic, melancholic powers of melody with an ease that would turn Brian Wilson green. Like Wilson, Mangum sings of his lost childhood, albeit through surreal, foggy memories that recall the confusion as well as the innocen   [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. Jeff Mangum creates a world of his own on this amazing debut; trombone, keyboards, overdriven acoustics, beautiful, heartbreaking songs.

Like their Elephant 6 labelmates and kindred spirits Olivia Tremor Control's Music From the Unrealized Film Script 'Dusk at Cubist Castle,' Neutral Milk Hotel's debut, On Avery Island, is an inscrutable concept album, a chronicle of an insular world told in a remarkably universal language. A fuzzy masterpiece of experimental lo-fi recording, the album wraps its ragged pop songs in ribbons of loops, marching-band squawks, and Casio noodling; the opener "Song Against Sex" is as much a manifesto as a kick-off,   [ read more ]

REISSUE. This is a reissue of the classic EP with an added previously unreleased bonus track, "Tuesday Moon," from the same era. The record was originally released by Fire Records in Europe only. Many of the tracks off this record have multiple parts making this four song EP almost the length of a full album. It captures the early sounds of Neutral Milk Hotel with amazing production qualities similar to the band's first full length album, On Avery Island. In the Aeroplane, Over the Sea has bee   [ read more ]

Of all the recordings to emerge from the Athens-via-Denver collective called Elephant 6, Neutral Milk Hotel's second album is the one that has worked its way under the most skins. Magnet magazine named it the best album of the 1990s, and Creative Loafing recently devoted a cover story to one fan's quest to understand why band leader Jeff Mangum dropped out of sight soon after Aeroplane's release. The record sells steadily to an audience that finds it through word of mouth.
