Mangum

Jeff Mangum‘s two sold-out shows at the Loew’s Jersey theater in Journal Square on November 5 and 6 resembled a church service more than a rock concert.

The 1,500-strong audience sat quietly throughout both performances; the artist sat too, lit from above, on a bare stage flanked by four acoustic guitars. The audience applauded politely after each song; sometimes they clapped as the familiar chords of some cherished old favorite began, too. Once or twice — following Mangum’s earnest entreaties — the crowd attempted to sing along, although even that sounded more like hymns in a cathedral than generational anthems at a big rock show.

Worship may be too strong a word to describe the relationship between Mangum and his fans, but barely so.” [Jersey City Independent]

The rebirth of Jeff Mangum continues. After playing two sold out shows at Loew’s in Jersey City over the past two nights, even more dates have been announced for the Neutral Milk Hotel frontman, and they include New Haven, Brooklyn, Philly, and a rescheduled UK ATP.
