Description
Neutral Milk Hotel ‘s explosive 1996 debut, On Avery Island, receives the deluxe reissue treatment with a yellow and red vinyl 2xLP press, complete with revised artwork and cut at 45RPM.Jeff Mangum’ s songs are cryptic and crazed, his ideas fast and furious, and together they force the homerecording concept out of the basement and into a brave new world, a fuzzy masterpiece of experimental lofi recording.Full of rapidfire wordplay with true and heartfelt experimentation, both ambitious and eclectic, it’ s not hard to see why this has been such an influential album.Part of the fabled Elephant 6 collective, Neutral Milk Hotel won over many a music critic with this cult classic. The band are recognized as one of the most influential alternative acts to come out of the mid90s and sowed the seeds for everything from antifolk to the likes of Arcade Fire, Caribou and even Franz Ferdinand.
