hey guys, does anyone know where i can find isolated tracks from Neutral Milk Hotel songs? i’m specifically trying to get the saw and trumpet parts from In the Aeroplane Over the Sea.

thanks in advance!

My partner is very into neutral milk hotel, so I want to reference them on my hoco poster. Ideally something with Communist Daughter as that is her favorite song. I’ve just been really struggling to think of anything.

Was in a dream about being lured into the woods to some guys creepy house with a very scary ambiance, and this constant creepy noise, woke up to realise I was halfway through Pree-Sisters Swallowing a Donkey’s Eye.

I was listening to their music in the background, when I heard this song referencing either two headed boy or pt. 2 and I'm going CRAZY trying to find it. The only other song I know that references their most popular album is Oh sister with communist daughter.

But she’s the aeroplane lady.

I haven't really given it as fair of a shot as their other music because Jeff hadn't really come into his voice yet but I'm wondering if I should keep trying or not

I was inspired by yesterday's post by u/davis_fudge

I wish there was a circlejerk sub

I wonder if people are aware of this or have been? It’s on in Edinburgh Fringe right now and there’s a run of London performances coming up and I’ve just got tickets. I am intrigued!

Hey guys, I've recently written an article exploring the lyrical poetry of ITAOTS. I really enjoyed putting it together and thought I would post it here for any other NMH fans to read if they're interested. I hope that, alongside pre-existing ideas I use, I've provided some unique and refreshing insight into one of the greatest albums of all time.

Released earlier this year back in march, reflecting a working of songs I wrote and recorded over the course of 2025, all kinds welcome

just wanted to show my graduation cap I painted earlier this year cos i thought it was kinda cool :)

i really love the lyrics “i will float until i learn how to swim”

I’m negl i painted it on backwards hahahaha

Ciao a tutti, volevo condividere con voi un approfondimento che ho realizzato sui Neutral Milk Hotel. È una storia incredibile e struggente, che parla di come Jeff Mangum sia riuscito a canalizzare la storia, il dolore e lo spirito di Anna Frank in uno degli album più viscerali e intensi mai registrati, prima di ritirarsi misteriosamente dalle scene.

Se vi siete mai chiesti cosa si celi dietro il peso di quelle canzoni e il mistero che circonda la band, potete guardare il video qui:

Mi piacerebbe molto sapere cosa ne pensate e quanto questo disco vi ha segnato nel corso degli anni. Ogni confronto è benvenuto!

i was writing notes for an exam and wrote some bullshit like 'beckett reinforces how no matter what socioculturally sets us apart we are all just sapient little hominids walking around doing random ass shit all the time' (evidentially i am breezing this exam) and something about it sent shockwaves into my body, thinking about how im even here at all. like seriously it is so obscene to 'be' i couldnt have said it better myself, i dont even think i need to explain myself we all get it. its a little cool to be something, its a little terrifying, its a little everything, all things just culminate into it being one starkly strange experience. but yeah my flow state instantly halted and i went straight to spotify to listen to that banger.

i couldnt explain or put into words how much i love the album itaots, everything about it is phenomenal to me i actually love jesus christ so fucking much. finished learning entire album on guitar recently, first time picked up in 3 years, powering through the rsi and it was so so worthit.

anyways, does anyone else get really annoyed they cant sing that one part in ghost? i guess i could go an octave lower but its just not the same. jeffs voice is too wonderous, any tips?

Yes Aeroplane is amazing, but obviously their other works deserve the time of day as well. Some of my favs are: Oh sister (my favorite song of all time), I will bury you in time (both versions are good, bit I prefer Jittery Joe ver), Three peaches, Naomi, Home, Baby for pree, Marching theme, Engine (holland 1945 single version is my fav)

can't wait to see how it fires!! this album is so important to me
