Major Organ and the Adding Machine is a side project Elephant 6 supergroup containing Neutral Milk Hotel's Jeff Mangum and Julian Koster.[1] After submitting a track to a Kindercore Records Christmas compilation in 1997, they recorded a self-titled album and released it on Orange Twin Records in 2001.
The liner notes of their album leave it a mystery as to who officially is featured. It is generally believed that Mangum and Koster are the main musicians in the group (which bears a strong resemblance to Koster's project, The Music Tapes), but it is believed that a variety of Elephant Six musicians also contributed, including members of The Olivia Tremor Control, Elf Power, and Of Montreal.
Andrew Rieger of Elf Power, in an interview with the Elephant 6 fan site, Optical Atlas [1], disclosed that there is a Major Organ film in the works. The release date is unknown, but Rieger did say "soon". A trailer for the movie was shown at the 40 Watt Club on May 5, 2007 and August 11, 2007. Also, generally mysterious leader of Neutral Milk Hotel Jeff Mangum is said to be in the movie as well; although he is dressed in a lobster suit so it could possibly be anybody [2].
The Major Organ and the Adding machine movie is completed and will be shown on the Elephant 6 "Holiday Surprise Tour," the tour starts with the premiering of the Major Organ movie on October 7th at Athens Cine.
