The Collected Works of Neutral Milk Hotel, the discography-spanning compendium of Jeff Mangum’s musical universe, has been nominated for Best Boxed or Special Limited Edition Package at the 2024 GRAMMYs. Art directors Daniel Murphy, Mark Ohe, and Jeff Mangum were nominated for the honor. It is Jeff Mangum’s first GRAMMY nomination. 

Jeff could not be reached for comment on the occasion.

A massive undertaking, The Collected Works of Neutral Milk Hotel features the updated, 2-LP gatefold edition of On Avery Island, In the Aeroplane Over the Sea, a 12-inch picture disc of the fan favorite Live at Jittery Joe’s live album, the Everything Is and Ferris Wheel on Fire 10-inch EPs, three 7-inches (“Little Birds [Live]” b/w “Little Birds [Demo],” “Holland, 1945” b/w “Engine,” and “You’ve Passed” b/w “Where You’ll Find Me Now”) and two 24” x 24” posters, all lovingly housed in a two-piece telescoping casewrapped box, assembling the treasures that have floated around in the musical ether since the 1998 release of In the Aeroplane Over the Sea, which was recently released on cassette for the first time. The box set also marks the first official release of “Little Birds,” as well as the expanded reissue of Everything Is.

The Collected Works of Neutral Milk Hotel is available now in the Merge store.
