Define a Transparent Dream

I'm completely sick of people vaguely comparing Elephant Six stuff with the most famous and ridiculous band ever. So they sound alike, so what? Don't the Beatles get enough attention already, while these guys get virtually none?

Even if you're still so ingenuous as to love the Beatles, the Elephant 6 guys come from a very different time, place, and attitude. Please show some respect for their own creativity in expanding on and manipulating a similar sound for their own ends and for their own reasons, without millions of dollars or fame, and knowing that they could never get those things with this approach.

Also, I think it's "Juice and coffee" in the morning, and I thought (but am now unsure) that it was "Model" portrait heads of G.S., rather than "My old."

I was under the impression that one of the purposes of the Elephant 6 collective was specifically to recreate the tone and feel of 60's pop music. I don't see how pointing out obvious comparisons to the Beatles (or the Beach Boys, Byrds, etc.) is a big deal.

for some reason this song reminds me of the beatles. white album era.

I know what you're talking about. When I first started listening to the Elephant Six posse, I thought it all sounded like a derivative of the Beatles.

'Dusk at Cubist Castle' sounds like the beatles, white album era, if they hadn't gotten completely lazy and had focus

This sounds like The Beatles

White Album Era

I love all OTC. Just haven't listened to them in years. :)
