The Elephant 6 Recording Co. 

THEATERS APPLE TV AMAZON VIMEO (International)
 

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.”

Film Threat

“Provides viewers with a feeling of mystery, amazement, and genuine excitement.”

Flood Magazine

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

Aquarium Drunkard
