Between David Bowie’s return in January and this week’s Neutral Milk Hotel reunion news, few could have predicted the great surprises 2013 would hold. That said, something tells me NMH’s announcement might carry into 2014, given that their first batch of tour dates end in December with a promise of “more to come.” Not to mention Jeff Mangum, Scott Spillane, Jeremy Barnes, and Julian Koster shared the update with a cryptic quote before passing a new illustration along to newsletter subscribers in a wordless e-mail. Check out both of those below after the itinerary unveiled so far. Update: More dates have been added with more planned for next year:
