Inspired by Neutral Milk Hotel

Neutral Milk Hotel innkeeper Jeff Mangum is one of indie rock's most enigmatic characters—part fiery folkie preacher, part hermetic avant-pop experimentalist. You can hear the former quality in the soul-baring spirituals of Bon Iver and Sufjan Stevens, while the latter aspect has spawned the aqueous ambient soundscapes of Animal Collective and the circus-sized psychedelia of Caribou.
