Everything Is was the first recording mass-released by Neutral Milk Hotel, which at this point was largely still an outlet for the songwriting of Jeff Mangum, instead of a fully formed band. The recording was originally the second release on the fledgling Seattle label Cher Doll Records in 1994. The label in the form of a 7″, with “Everything Is” as the A side, and “Snow Song, Pt. 1″ as the B side. The first 50 7″s pressed also featured different artwork, with each sleeve being personally xeroxed by Mangum.
