He’s back, I say! And he’s been announced as the curator of All Tomorrow’s Parties’ UK festival happening this December (in “Butlins, Minehead, Somerset,” whatever that means. That’s not a real place). But wait! There’s more! The Athens songwriter and onetime J.D. Salinger of indie rock has announced a string of solo dates in the northeastern United States this fall. Some of them are already sold out, so getcha purchase on!

The acts Mangum has already booked for ATP include some fellow Elephant 6 legends, including the Olivia Tremor Control and Apples in Stereo, as well as the reunited Superchunk and British post-punk luminaries the Raincoats, who’ll be performing their self-titled debut in its entirety.

Cool! Neato! Huzzah! Wowee! Neutral Milk Hotel lives again! Welcome back, JM.
