The Apples in Stereo - #1 Hits Explosion

The shiny pop centerpiece of the famed Elephant 6 collective, The Apples in Stereo was born of Robert Schneider's infatuation with recording and his near-pathological compulsion to write the perfect pop song. Citing PET SOUNDS-era Beach Boys as their root text a decade before it was en vogue, Schneider and former and future band members Hilarie Sidney, Jim McIntyre, Chris Parfitt, John Hill, Eric Allen, Chris McDuffie, Bill Doss, John Ferguson, John Dufilho, and others used their basement-D.I.Y. beginnings as a launching pad into a kaleidoscopic galaxy of sound. Constantly mutating from debut album FUN TRICK NOISEMAKER through recent opus NEW MAGNETIC WONDER, that galaxy has expanded from 4-track recordings made in Schneider's bedroom to 100-track sonic experiments complete with new musical scales. Collecting the Apples' most well-known songs, #1 HITS EXPLOSION reminds US that pop music is the art of the song, the art of sounds assembled in a pattern designed to give joy. For over fifteen years The Apples in Stereo have taught US that three minutes can change your life. #1 HITS EXPLOSION will make sure we don't forget it.
