THE ELEPHANT 6 RECORDING CO.

Part of Doc Spotlight

An inside look at the Elephant 6 Recording Co., the ’90s rock collective that launched Neutral Milk Hotel, The Olivia Tremor Control, The Apples in Stereo and other bands. Around 1985, a group of Louisiana high schoolers began experimenting with whatever random instruments and gear they could find. Influenced by psychedelia, and with little to distract them, they birthed a musical revolution.

“The definitive document about a scene that is exceedingly difficult to define.” —Bradley Gibson, Film Threat

“Provides viewers with a feeling of mystery, amazement, and genuine excitement.” —Sean Fennell, Flood Magazine

“A joyous, heartfelt look at the DIY collective.” —Aquarium Drunkard
