Elephant 6 is a music collective that emerged in the 1990s, known for their experimental and eclectic sound. Their music often features lo-fi production, intricate arrangements, and a mix of acoustic and electronic instruments. The lyrics are often introspective and poetic, exploring themes of love, loss, and personal growth. The genre is characterized by its use of unconventional song structures, unpredictable chord progressions, and a wide range of musical influences, including folk, psychedelia, and indie rock.
