Neutral Milk Hotel is a Indie rock act. Their sound grew out of Ants from Up There, Mount Eerie, Nana Grizol, Versus and Galaxie 500.

They run in the same orbit as Daniel Johnston, Mount Eerie, The Mountain Goats, Sufjan Stevens and Nick Drake, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Off with Their Heads, Bright Eyes, Danger Mouse, The Dresden Dolls and Brand New, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
