Neutral Milk Hotel

The live recording from October 16, 2013, at The Blue Note in Columbia, MO, captures Neutral Milk Hotel during a pivotal moment in their reunion tour, nearly two decades after their influential album, *In the Aeroplane Over the Sea*, took the indie music scene by storm. This period marks a revival for the band, who had previously disbanded in 1999, making their live shows a highly anticipated experience for devoted fans. The setlist likely includes tracks from both their iconic album and other favorites, showcasing their unique blend of folk and psych-pop. Interestingly, the band’s enigmatic frontman, Jeff Mangum, had cultivated a legendary status through years of mystique before the reunion—fans were starved for this intimate glimpse into a beloved yet elusive band. The anticipation surrounding these performances echoes the emotional resonance of their music, making each show a nostalgic journey for attendees.
