O Neutral Milk Hotel (auto-descrito "fuzz folk") foi um dos principais projetos da gravadora Elephant 6, um círculo de grupos de música lo-fi independente com propostas parecidas, incluindo The Apples in Stereo, Olivia Tremor Control e Secret Square - que dividiam músicos, ideias e sensibilidades.

[Chorus]
