there was this group of people called "the elephant 6 collective" that had a bunch of different bands out of georgia and a couple other spots in the USA... i dunno, they claimed to be influenced by the psychedelic work of the beach boys a lot and the band that got popular in brazil Os mutantes, which was like brazil's response to the beatles and beach boys during their psychedelic era from what i understand.
this is a pretty upbeat track with some what 60's era psychedelic influenced horns... this is a pretty good album... it gets pretty freaky at times. i used to trip out and smoke weed to the album in high school. i don't know if everybody would recognize how dark it gets.. this is a feel good track:
"prehistoric" and "a lovely universe" are pretty crazy tracks with a bizarre feel..... ..... i don't know if this band is that amazing or anything. i enjoyed them deeply for some time, but idk. there's other stuff that i found myself being more emotionally attached to over the years... i think of them at the OP's title cause this is what comes up when you google search "elephant 6 genre":
"The Elephant 6 genre isn't a single style but a collective of indie rock bands known for their
lo-fi psychedelic pop, blending '60s influences (
Beach Boys,
Beatles) with experimental, DIY, and often whimsical sounds, featuring elements of indie pop, synth-pop, and garage rock. Key acts like
Neutral Milk Hotel,
The Apples in Stereo, and
of Montreal embody this sound, characterized by catchy melodies, tape manipulation, and retro production."
people may have fun checking out their label. i tend to go deeper into the emo stuff, which isn't really on this label. it's still good though.
