Fanfare for Neutral Milk Hotel Vol. 3

Published Tuesday, July 11, 2006 by Jeff | E-mail this post

If you're a regular visitor to the Elephant 6 Townhall message board, you know there are a number of fan-generated cover projects in the works; the most successful has been Fanfare for Neutral Milk Hotel, which has just given birth to its third incarnation that you can download online. These are just fans covering songs they love, so your mileage may vary, but it's still a nice tribute. The interesting thing is that Vol. 4 is already in the works, with a twist: rather than covering Neutral Milk Hotel songs, fans will compose new songs built around words spoken by Jeff Mangum found in other sources (interviews, mainly). I'm not sure how I feel about that; we'll see how it turns out. You can get involved with that project by stepping over to this thread.

Meanwhile, you can download and listen to Songs Against Sex: Fanfare for Neutral Milk Hotel Vol. 3 at this website. Thanks to Stormx for organizing the project.
