You are hereby commanded to listen to these:
https://maggierogers.bandcamp.com/album/the-echo
https://maggierogers.bandcamp.com/album/blood-ballet

I treasure Maggie's early Indie Folk/Rock so much more than anything from Heard It in a Past Life. The songs are so much more earnest and innocent than anything from the album that went Gold. She's not trying to prove to be anything more than a girl from Maryland with a banjo in hand and heart on her sleeve.

Both The Echo and Blood Ballet have a certain innocence to them that would be lost by the time she went commercial on Now That the Light Is Fading. Both albums serve as farewells to adolescence and confronting the anxieties of entering adulthood. "Satellite" serves as The Echo's emotional centerpiece written at age 17. The song is a slow Chamber Folk ballad about yearning to be free yet seen that crescendos at its lyrical climax, and damn, do those closing lyrics hit hard:
>So send me out to space and cut me free
>And like a satellite, just look for me

Blood Ballet would continue much of those themes, although instead of mourning adolescence, these would confront the first steps of adulthood. The lyrics here, while deeply emotional, are much rawer and unleashed without being scornful. While lacking a strong emotional centerpiece, the album still features lovely tunes like the homage to her high school boyfriend "James" who also happened to play trumpet on "Satellite".

it's funny that when i first heard this i was obsessed with it, but as the years pass i rarely ever find myself listening to it again.
and the times i do i'm always disappointed.
>>
To give a real answer, try Of Montreal's first album and Olivia Tremor Control in general.

There was this band that was such a blatant parody of NMH that they deleted everything from the internet after being called out on it, i can’t remember the name but the singer looked like Jeff but blonde, the worst part is that the songs were decent

CHECK this shit out OP! It will blow your fuckin mind
>>
>>130338200
there are literally no other bands like NMH. I've searched far and wide. Jeff Mangum was the only person who ever wrote music in this genre who wasn't a talentless hack with a gimmick and/or a pretentious idiot trying to be mr artsy fartsy. he was a genuine nutcase with incredible talent and no ego.

one album that's kind of close is The End of History by Fionn Regan, sadly he didn't make anything good after that though
>>
>I LOVE YOU
>JESUS
>CHRIST
>>
>>130350912
Fionn Regan is a good call, hell of a guitar player that boy
John Martyn is a bit more boomery but some of his early stuff has the poetic clarity of Mangum
