As the
Elephant 6
catalog continues to expand, it becomes increasingly obvious that many of the label's bands are concerned not merely with creating fresh and exciting music but rather entire mythologies, crafting obscure concept records exploring the intricacies of strange pocket universes. Existing in the musical gray area between
Olivia Tremor Control

Neutral Milk Hotel
-- both of whose members make cameos here --
Elf Power
's superb
When the Red King Comes

"The Secret Ocean,"
"The Separating Fault,"
"The Silver Lake."

' cover, a crazed map suggesting something out of a J.R.R. Tolkien fever dream. ~ Jason Ankeny
