Anyone here heard of them? Amazing psychedelic fuzz-folkrock, their 2nd album In The Aeroplane Over The Sea is one of the best albums of the 90's. The main man of the band was/is a guy called Jeff Magnum who sort of reminds of Syd Barrett... Try and check out the album I mentioned, you probably won't regret it (especially if you're a Barrett fan)

All Music Guide says:

Roots and Influences: Sonic Youth, Pink Floyd, The Zombies,The Beach Boys, The Beatles

Not heard of them yet. But by the sounds of it the sound as though they would be ok

In The Aeroplane Over The Sea is a very good album. Their debut, On Avery Island, is crap.

I wouldn't call the debut album crap, but it is much worse than the second....

Oh, and if you want to check out a newish band that sounds sort of like NMH, listen to The Decemberists, I'd say their debut 'Castaways & Cutouts' is almost as good as In The Aeroplane Over The Sea, and their 2nd album isn't bad either.
