Biography
Jeffrey Nye Mangum (born October 24, 1970) is an American singer, songwriter, and musician. He gained prominence as the founder, songwriter, vocalist, and guitarist of Neutral Milk Hotel and as a co-founder of The Elephant 6 Recording Company. Mangum is noted for his complex, lyrically dense songwriting, particularly on the album In the Aeroplane Over the Sea. He is also known for his public image as a recluse, often taking extended breaks from music and maintaining minimal press interaction. A 2008 article in Slate described Mangum as the "Salinger of Indie Rock." In 2023, Mangum received a Grammy Award nomination for "Best Boxed Or Special Limited Edition Package."
