“NPR: The Elephant 6 collective that Olivia Tremor Control was originally a part of has been showing more signs of life. There was the tour a couple years ago. Jeff Mangum of Neutral Milk Hotel, also part of E6, is playing shows. Do you still consider yourself a part of that collective, or are you doing your own thing now?


WCH: Oh, definitely a part! There was a time when we called it the “E6 backlash” back in ’99. It blew our minds. E6 was referenced in magazines all the time, and we thought, “Wow, this is kind of becoming a tag word or something.” We were getting referenced way too much, and I think people started getting sick of the whole E6 idea. That’s one of the reasons we decided to take our hiatus. We started [the label] Cloud Recordings. But E6 is more important to me now than ever, after all these years. It was just over-hyped back then. You know, “the Elephant 6 sound.” But now I love it.”
