Neutral Milk Hotel – Part #1. The Albums
This band has become the Beatles of indie folk. Pitchfork gave them a 10/10 and interviewed a bunch of bands about how Neutral Milk Hotel inspired them. Comparisons to Dylan get tossed around. It’s a little strange.
They made one good album and one great album and then disbanded, presumably because fame was complicating the life of their obviously mentally disturbed singer, Jeff Mangum. If at any time Jeff pokes his head in a bar and picks up a guitar, some thrilled fan is going to make the bootleg of the year. If the band ever gets together again and tours, we’ll have mass hysteria.
On Avery Island is darker, noisier, more distorted, and less unified than its successor, In the Aeroplane Over the Sea.
