oyster Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 I'm sure a fair amount of you love this album so. Really puts me in cozy place. Really captures indescribable emotions. Really beautiful. I bet Jeff Mangum gives a good hug. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2jkyuT8unw&feature=related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Wall Bird Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 I love Jeff's voice. Especially when he attempts high notes that he's apparently incapable of pulling off. The first time I heard 'Aeroplane' was on a mixtape my friend's sister had given to him. As soon as I heard the first line I knew I had to have the rest of it. Thus began my love affair with that band. The songwriting is amazingly economical and effective in it's simplicity and the orchestration is pretty much proto-indie, from what I know - which may not be enough. I'm particularly fond of the overbearing fuzz bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ojkewin Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 fuzz bass is killer this album is such a diamond in the rough there is a lot of bad folk/indie that comes out and even other neutral milk hotel albums just don't compare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 and even other neutral milk hotel albums just don't compare Lies. On Avery Island is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goffer Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 He played live pretty recently too that I remember... surfaced after many years, brought many men to tears, then submerged again... within the last 6 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr_Nova Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Jeff Mangum's possibly #1 on my list of musicians who should start making goddamn music again. Fuck. No one else writes lyrics like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
