Robert Schneider, one of the founders of The Elephant 6 Recording Co., began producing music for various Elephant 6 bands (including his own) in the mid-1990s. A number of these earlier recording sessions occurred at Schneider's friend Kyle Jones's house in Denver, Colorado. Jones referred to the studio as the "Sleeping Brotherhood" while Schneider called it "Pet Sounds".[3] It is also referred to as The Elephant 6 Recording Co. in the liner notes for albums such as the Apples in Stereo's Hypnotic Suggestion EP. (The Elephant 6 Recording Company would also briefly exist as a functional record label before simply referring to the collective of like-minded musicians.)
