Neutral Milk Hotel

On April 24, 1998, Neutral Milk Hotel delivered a captivating live performance at the 400 Bar in Minneapolis. By this time, they had already released their iconic album, 'In the Aeroplane Over the Sea', in February of the same year. This album served as a cornerstone of the indie rock movement and garnered a cult following, resonating deeply with listeners through its kaleidoscopic lyrics and haunting melodies. Interestingly, 'In the Aeroplane Over the Sea' drew inspiration from Anne Frank's diary, which added a layer of emotional depth to both the album and this memorable live show. The concert film captures the raw energy and intimate connection between the band and the audience, showcasing tracks like 'Two-Headed Boy' — a perfect representation of their unique sound. At this point in their career, Neutral Milk Hotel had cemented their place in music history, blending lo-fi aesthetics with profound storytelling that would leave a lasting impact.
