Davey Wrathgaber is a member of the Athens, Georgia, pop powerhouse the Elephant 6, a collective of bands that includes Apples in Stereo, Elf Power, Of Montreal and Neutral Milk Hotel. Wrathgaber enlists friends from these bands to play with him in the Visitations, and although hyped as psych folk, the band is not so much psychedelic as it is comfortably schizophrenic.
