I found Neutral Milk Hotel through a video by the YouTuber Whang!, and I listened to the album In The Aeroplane Over The Sea and I was hooked. I've been listening to them for months now, and I listen to them almost every day. Every song is filled with so much emotion and talent.

They are an indie rock / psychedelic folk band. They specialize in very surreal lyrics set to purposefully low quality guitars among other unique instruments, all sang beautifully by Jeff Magnum. It would mean a lot to me if yall could give them a chance. I would certainly start with In The Aeroplance Over the Sea, it is actually a masterpiece.

    I discovered Neutral Milk Hotel 15 years ago from someone making jokes about hipsters liking Neutral Milk Hotel. I guess I'm a hipster, because they're good. Shortly after, one of my favorite bands at the time covered 2 Headed Boy: https://youtu.be/xuHE7pwOvOc?si=etEKe_fowA6HNqbA
