Mass Suicide Occult Figurines is the debut album by John Vanderslice, released in 2000.[4] It is named after a line in Neutral Milk Hotel's "Song Against Sex".
Reception
[edit]In anticipation of Vanderslice's fourth album Cellar Door, CMJ New Music Monthly's Louis Miller described the album as "a perfectly disjointed pop album."[5] Exclaim! wrote that "Vanderslice uses a mix of traditional rock instrumentation spiced with the occasional strings to bring his pop visions to life."[6]
