The Apples in Stereo came from Colorado and were part of the Elephant 6 collective - a label/association/whatever I've always had some reservations about. Too often, the Elephants' psychedelic pop seemed to be more about attitude than songs, and they came across rather smug and irritating. Even when they were good.
The Apples' debut album, 1995's Fun Trick Noisemaker, fell (mostly) into the "good" category and is certainly one I would recommend if you're curious about Elephant 6. But I wouldn't call any of it indispensable.
