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]

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.

The record sells steadily to an audience that finds it through word of mouth.

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.

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 ]
