Chocolate USA is best known as the first band of The Music Tapes' and Neutral Milk Hotel's Julian Koster. With Koster as singer, guitarist, and principal songwriter, he joined up with Liza Wakeman, Alan Edwards, Paul Wells and Keith Block under the name Miss America in 1989. After self-releasing cassettes to fans via their "Chocolaty Good Smash Hit of the Month Club," they were noticed by Bar None Records. Their first album, All Jets Are Gonna Fall Today, was released under the Chocolate USA banner after Miss America made legal threats. The lo-fi band released a second album under Bar None entitled Fog Machine, before disbanding for other, ultimately more successful, projects. Their sound can be described as quirky, and containing many different sorts of instrumentation, which is a trait that went with Koster into The Music Tapes and Neutral Milk Hotel; present in their releases are Guitars, Bass Guitars, Standup Basses, Accordions, Concertinas, Rattles, drums, robot sound effects [specifically on Fog Machine], organs, toy pianos, banjos, and numerous other instruments.
