I think one major theme that you are ignoring is the Bulgarian Gypsy sound they used. There is a whole sub-genre of indie bands that fall under that umbrella including Beirut whom you mentioned. There are so many bands with horns and accordions in them these days.

What an amazing group of musicians. I have made so many wonderful memories thanks to their music. Great article – I started listening to Neutral Milk Hotel probably even less than two years ago.

Free music works! It's probably the best Neutral Milk Hotel cover I've heard. Can't wait to hear more from you guys.
