Fire Records have announced that they will be reissuing two Neutral Milk Hotel releases, 1994's Everything Is EP and the band's 1996 full-length debut, On Avery Island.
Everything Is will be released on 7-inch vinyl on August 8 while On Avery Island will be re-issued on C and red and yellow vinyl on August 22.
Neutral Milk Hotel have been on indefinite hiatus since 1998, but as of late, guitar/songwriter Jeff Mangum has made somewhat of a return to the public eye, playing a few intimate dates and planning more for the fall of 2011.
There are no plans as of now for the full band to reunite.
