Within the ’90s, an interconnected community of Athens, Georgia bands developed its personal model of lo-fi psychedelic indie-pop. The bands from that crew — Impartial Milk Resort, Elf Energy, the Apples In Stereo, the Olivia Tremor Management, of Montreal — all completed nice issues on their very own, however they had been in a position to accomplish these issues, at the very least partially, as a result of all of them helped one another out and influenced one another. Now, we’ve received a brand new documentary on the Elephant 6 collective that explores and celebrates that complete scene.
Director C.B. Stockfleth’s The Elephant 6 Recording Co. was solely out there on VHS tape at first, however the documentary just lately received large premiere occasions in New York and Los Angeles. On the LA premiere earlier this month, an all-star indie rock band performed the Elephant 6 classics, and we posted video of the singalong model of “In The Aeroplane Over The Sea,” in addition to the documentary’s trailer. The film’s about to get a theatrical and VOD launch, and there may even be a collection of particular screenings round North America. Now, we’ve received an unique clip from the doc.
Within the video beneath, you’ll be able to see plenty of Elephant 6 musicians speaking concerning the analog four-track tape that they used to document. The Elephant 6 bands usually recorded at house, quite than within the studio, however they had been attempting to make their very own variations of the basic Beatles and Seaside Boys data that all of them cherished. Beneath, watch the clip and take a look at the dates for screenings.
