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.
We will take off our clothes
And they’ll be placing fingers through the notches in your spine
And when all is breaking everything that you could keep inside
Now your eyes ain’t moving now, they just lay there in their climb
Here’s the Dresden Dolls doing a cover for the AV Club back before finance hollowed out that entire site .
Except Amanda Palmer has ruined Dresden Dolls music by being a hard R racist, a TERF, and doing apologia for sex pests in the music industry. She later ‘addressed’ the racism in a fucking patreon-exclusive post where she never actually apologised and referred to non-whites as “Patrons of Colour” PoC and not People. Not coming for your treats, because a lot of music can become meaningful before finding out what pieces of shit musicians are, though for anyone not already familiar with Dresden Dolls, Kanye, Anti-Flag, Ace of Bass, Rammstein, RHCP, or any other artists that have gone fash/bigot/sexpest better to steer clear and to check out other music.
No worries. I’m not even a Dresden Dolls fan. I just like this cover
But uh yeah, yikes, that all sucks. I had no idea she was such a piece of shit
