Neo-psychedelic band inspired by
The Beach Boys,
The Beatles (
Rubber Soul period), and other
sixties pop acts as well as the energy and passion of
punk rock. After numerous singles and compilation appearances, collected on
Singles & Beyond, they released their debut
LP,
Music From The Unrealized Film Script Dusk At Cubist Castle. Following some touring and some years working with their
four tracks they released their masterpiece:
Black Foliage: Animation Music. It combines
Beach Boys-esque pop with crazy sound collages, tape manipulation pieces and the world's catchiest melody (The Black Foliage theme.)
Core Members:
...although in truth, all members play all sorts of other things as well. Various additional players (both live and studio) include:
Jeff Mangum,
Robert Schneider, Laura Carter, Andrew Reiger, Julian Koster, Jeremy Barnes, Scott Spillane... and virtually any other Elephant 6 musician.
