	Encyclopedia: Elephant six
		The Elephant Six Recording Company was a musical collective founded in Athens, Georgia, USA, by Bill Doss, Will Cullen Hart (both, now formerly, of Olivia Tremor Control), Jeff Mangum (of Neutral Milk Hotel), and Robert Schneider (of the Apples in Stereo), the four of whom grew up making music in Ruston, Louisiana.
		In October 2002, the Elephant Six Collective as a fully functioning entity called it quits, due to difficulties in recording and lack of organization.
		The bands of the collective have since all moved on to various labels and projects of their own, though many are still friends and even tour together under various guises.

	Of Montreal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Of Montreal were among the second wave of groups to emerge from the Elephant 6 Collective.
		Created by Kevin Barnes after a failed romance with a woman from Montreal, the group is typical of many Elephant 6 bands due to its interests in combining musical experimentation and the basic tenets of pop (ie.
		The band's style has been influenced by not only more conventional indie pop and neo-psychedelia, but, on their earlier releases, vaudeville and music hall, before moving on to a style that was far more influenced by electronica on their most recent albums.

	Music Forum - The Elephant 6 Collective
		The article, which refers to Elephant 6 in the past tense, notes that the purpose of the collective (to elevate awareness of underground bands affiliated with the then-fledgling Apples In Stereo) has more or less run its course, peaking with Warner imprint Sire's major-label distribution of the Apples' Toul Soul Evolution in 1998.
		Two of the collective's founding bands-- The Olivia Tremor Control and Neutral Milk Hotel-- are unlikely to be resurrected soon, at least not in the glorious full-band touring incarnations of four years ago.
		The label hit its zenith around 1997, when Elephant 6 were actively recruiting new members of the collective and released the debut singles from Beulah and the Minders.

		Other Elephant 6 flagship bands have since found berths at indies such as SpinART, Kindercore, Emperor Norton, and Velocette, or started their own ventures (most notably Orange Twin and Cloud Recordings).
		Elephant 6, originally conceived as sort of a fantasy label for those involved, did in fact become an actual label in 1993 with the self-release of the Apples In Stereo's debut seven-inch.
		The decade-long reign of Elephant 6 is set to be documented in a final label compilation, according to Sidney, though it's been on the back burner for more than two years: "That's how organized we are."

However, we need not believe that the blind men would have to leave their descriptions at such a disparate level of appearances.

		Olivia Tremor Control were the core of the Elephant 6 collective.
		Elephant 6 was the best thing to come out of indie mecca Athens, GA since you-know-who went stadium rock.
		Creating a new melodic psychedelia that referenced the '60s without sounding normal enough to be retro, Elephant 6 bands like OTC and Neutral Milk Hotel swapped members and ideas and threatened to make something lasting and special until everyone involved either went bonkers (NMH) or solo (OTC).

		The Elephant Six Recording Company is a musical collective founded in Denver, Colorado (but figuratively in Athens, Georgia) by childhood friends Bill Doss, Will Cullen Hart, Jeff Mangum, and Robert Schneider.
		Schneider was the one who actually created the record label when he moved to Denver, Colorado in late 1991 and attended University of Colorado at Boulder.
		From there on in, most of the bands were signed to major record labels and the recording company as an entity slowly deteoriated until the collective called it quits, due to difficulties in recording and lack of organization, in 2002.

	Tucson Weekly: Minders? Keepers! (August 2 - August 8, 2001)
		You can't write an article on Portland pop powerhouse the Minders without mentioning the Elephant 6 Collective, a nebulous and probably communist organization that is at this very moment attempting to steal all of our precious bodily fluids.
		What the Elephant 6 Collective is, in fact, is rather difficult to explain.
		After issuing a collection of early singles and previously unreleased tracks (Cul de Sacs and Dead Ends, 1999), the Minders made a departure of sorts with the somewhat more rockin' and heavier (next to previous Minders records only; Sabbath it ain't) Down in Fall EP (2000).

	Splendid E-zine reviews: Circulatory System
		But somewhere along the way, the collective’s victory trot turned into a torturous death march that left many of their most successful and prominent artists wounded and seeking shelter.
		That first winter was indeed the toughest, and when it concluded, only The Apples in Stereo and Elf Power were able to continue, forced to leave their comrades Neutral Milk Hotel and The Olivia Tremor Control behind, fully expecting to never see them again.
		Bold, adventurous, whimsical and witty, this debut offering from Circulatory System proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that there are still signs of life to be found in the Elephant 6 collective.

	Ross Beach: Record Reviews
		Elephant 6 expatriate relocated to Portland, Ore., Ross Beach--who played in both the Gerbils and Neutral Milk Hotel during his Southern residency--is nothing if not assertive on his solo debut.
		Head Hellpet Ross Beach is no stranger to Elephant Six formula, himself playing a significant role in their early years, but here he injects enough individuality to separate Ross and the Hellpets from the rest.
		Beach, who is sort of the Pete Best of the Elephant Six cadre (in the "wasn't around to get his share of the acclaim" sense, not in the "got kicked out" sense), has served time in close to twenty bands, including indie-cred-establishing stints in Neutral Milk Hotel and the Gerbils.

	Music: Sixth Sense (Memphis Flyer . 05-10-99)
		While the output of the various bands only bears a family resemblance to one another, the Elephant 6's spirit of experimentalism and collaboration can be heard throughout, and the bands routinely share personnel for recording and touring.
		Aeroplane was a collection of mythic folk ballads, couched at times amid earthy psychedelia but still basically a pop record.
		Both bands, in fact, seem to be on a similar trajectory, having both released cohesive and thematic sophomore records that, in many ways, far outstripped their promising debuts.

	Of Montreal - The Gay Parade - Review
		Granted, members of the band are in as diverse projects as Neutral Milk Hotel and The Olivia Tremor Control (the whole Elephant 6 collective is about as musically incestuous as they come), but this album is cuckoo.
		Sounding partially influenced by the Beatles and obviously different parts of many other Elephant 6 groups, this is probably the most blatantly goofy album that I've heard from that group.
		Everything from toy pianos to typewriters, bells, and musical saws are on the disc, so even when the lyrics are focused on a girl named Nickee Coco who falls asleep in an Invisible Tree (and the subsequent hunt for her), the instrumentation doesn't sound too outlandish.

		The gaggle of musicians from the Athens contingent of the Elephant 6 collective exist purely in the ethereal sense most of the time.
		The group's self-titled debut, issued on their own Cloud Recordings in late 2001, was so richly layered with kalediscopic sound (dozens of tracks of ephemeral guitars, whispering choirs, lush buzzes, toy pianos, recordings of birds, bells, strings...) that when Hart "reanimated" it on 2002's Inside Views, it sounded like a completely different record.
		Despite an insistent report from PitchforkMedia.com about the death of Elephant 6, there is still much music to be made.

		Dressy Bessy is a Denver band that is loosely affiliated with what used to be known as the Elephant 6 "collective".
		Elephant 6 used to get a lot of press, back when Olivia Tremor Control and Neutral Milk Hotel and The Apples (In Stereo) were all busting out with albums every year, each one urging the others further afield in their mission to bring weirder and wilder 1960s noises and 1990s experimentation together.
		Meanwhile, it has fallen to the "second-tier" Elephant 6 bands to keep the flag flying.

		The "Here Comes the Sun"-worshipping Elephant 6 collective may have officially disbanded a couple of years back, but it seems no one told Of Montreal.
		Though it clearly spawned some of indie-pop's finest moments to date (witness Elf Power's Winter Is Coming and Apples in Stereo's Tone Soul Evolution), the weakness of Elephant 6, much like any cult of retro-personality, was that eventually the multi-band reverence came off sounding a little like lack of inspiration.
		To its credit, Of Montreal has always been the most inventive and adventurous of the collective, drawing on a wider range of influences and liberal doses of the bandmates' own inspiration.

		Today, the Olivia Tremor Control may be no more -- even though, with Elephant 6, nothing is ever definitive -- but a new band, Circulatory System, has risen from its ashes to carry on the Elephant 6 legacy, albeit on a new label.
		After the demise of OTC and Neutral Milk Hotel, many members of the Elephant 6 collective began eyeing individual projects, slowly drifting from the fold in various directions.
		The music will sound familiar to fans of the Elephant 6 sound: a dense fuzz of everything from elegiac organ drones, scratchy cellos, acoustic guitars, flugelhorns and almost any other instrument to be thought of.
