Demo No. 2

The discography of Neutral Milk Hotel, a Ruston, Louisiana-based indie rock group, consists of two studio albums, two singles, two extended plays, one compilation album, and three demos.

Neutral Milk Hotel formed in 1989 as an offshoot of Milk, a high school musical project of singer-songwriter Jeff Mangum, and the band was largely a Mangum solo project in the group's earlier days. The group was a part of The Elephant 6 Recording Company, a collective of musicians that includes, among others, notable indie rock bands The Apples in Stereo, The Olivia Tremor Control, and Of Montreal. The 1993 single " Everything Is" was the band's first release, and it would later be reissued as an EP with additional tracks. The band's first studio album, ''On Avery Island'', was released on the independent label Merge, and has sold a relatively high 5,000 copies. Afterwards, the band began to tour for the first time, and grew to include horns player Scott Spillane, multi-instrumentalist Julian Koster, and drummer Jeremy Barnes. In 1998 the band released ''In the Aeroplane Over the Sea'' on Merge, an album which has since become one of the most popular and acclaimed indie rock albums of the 1990s. Up until 2011's ''Ferris Wheel on Fire'' EP, the band had no new releases since ''In the Aeroplane Over the Sea'', though Mangum has said "I don't know what's going to happen, but I certainly want to make music a bigger part of my life in the future than it has been for the last couple of years."
