The Apples in Stereo were a Denver indie rock band tied to the Elephant 6 collective, and at heart the project of singer, guitarist and producer Robert Schneider, who wrote most of their music and words. Around him over the years: Hilarie Sidney, rhythm guitarist John Hill, bassist Eric Allen, and later drummer John Dufilho and keyboardist John Ferguson, among others.
The sound is sunshine run through a fuzz pedal: psychedelic pop that nods to the Beatles and the Beach Boys, the lush sweep of Electric Light Orchestra and the ramshackle cool of Pavement, with lo-fi, garage rock, bubblegum, power pop and new wave all tossed into the mix. The Discovery of a World Inside the Moone, from 2000, was a prime example, and "The Bird That You Can't See" bounced along with the kind of giddy harmonies that make a gray afternoon feel like a summer one.
They found their way into odd corners of pop culture, too: a Powerpuff Girls music video for "Signal in the Sky (Let's Go)", performances on The Colbert Report and Late Night with Conan O'Brien, "Energy" sung by American Idol contestants, and a song for Yo Gabba Gabba.
