Without the Apples in Stereo, there would be no Elephant 6. Without Robert Schneider, there would be no Neutral Milk Hotel. In author Josh Bloom’s first-person account, you get to decide whether these claims are truth or myth.

The first biography dedicated to a core Elephant 6 artist, The Apples in Stereo is based on extensive interviews with Robert Schneider and also includes exclusive contributions by all the key band members from the group’s formative years.

This entertaining, often dramatic story frames an essential catalog of pop-rock perfection that will be part of every playlist you make from now on. Join this sometimes-psychedelic, subtly therapeutic, always-artistically-ambitious journey, and be sure to keep your headphones on!

Editorial Reviews

Review

“This book is a different style of band biography than I’m used to―and I like it! Josh Bloom really knows Robert Schneider and the Apples in Stereo and he doesn’t hide it―in fact his own relationship with the band and the music is an integral part of the story, offering a uniquely compelling view of a uniquely compelling band.”
―Marc Masters (Rolling Stone, The Washington Post, Pitchfork)

“The mythology of the Elephant 6 collective has a way of obscuring some details. Josh isn’t afraid to go mining in the shadowy crevices of the mountain.”
―Chad Stockfleth (Director, The Elephant 6 Recording Co.)

“The albums and songs and bands we love most become deeply
integral to our souls. Josh Bloom reflects that in these pages, exploring his own relationship with The Apples in Stereo and telling the story with such intelligence, passion, and humor that we have no choice but to fall in love with the band ourselves and cheer for an author who has delivered a deliciously singular work that defies classification and makes us rethink the rock book.”
―Jedd Beaudoin, host of NPR’s “Into Music”

“A hyperdimensional look at a band that refracted music history, as told by one of the minds (and hearts) that music melted. Josh Bloom’s considered, cubist, and personal approach is the expression of a three-decade obsession, and it showed me new facets of Hilarie and Robert and their remarkable (ongoing!) creative practices.”
―Adam Clair, author of Endless Endless: A Lo-Fi History
of the Elephant 6 Mystery

About the Author

Josh Bloom published his first newsletter before turning ten, written using his next-door neighbor's typewriter, copied with carbon paper, and distributed to mailboxes on his bicycle. His first story was the obituary of John Belushi. Strange for a ten-year-old? Yes!
