Neutral Milk Hotel

On April 12, 1998, Neutral Milk Hotel performed at Bottom of the Hill in San Francisco, a pivotal moment during the band's rise following the release of their iconic album 'In the Aeroplane Over the Sea.' Released just a few months earlier in February, this album would ultimately become a cornerstone of '90s indie rock, celebrated for its lush instrumentation and poignant lyrics. The performance captured in this recording reflects the raw energy and ethereal quality of their music, resonating deeply with fans. Interestingly, 'In the Aeroplane Over the Sea' was inspired, in part, by the life of Anne Frank, weaving themes of love, loss, and absurdity that echo through the live rendition of 'Song Against Sex.' This performance stands as a testament to their growing influence, painting a vivid picture of an artist on the cusp of legendary status within the indie music scene.
