At this point, singer/songwriter Jeff Mangum is known just as much for his elusive nature as he is for his songwriting skill. Since the man ended his Neutral Milk Hotel project in 1998, he withdrew from the public eye entirely by neither releasing any new music nor appearing in public. That all changed with his 2010 tour, and while Mangum doesn’t seem to want to release any new music any time soon, fans will get a chance to see him on tour again in 2013.

Mangum’s tour will stretch across the U.S. from January until February of next year. Mangum’s support on the tour will be Tall Firs, Briars of North America, and the Music Tapes, depending on the tour. All dates and info are listed below:
