Editing Elephant 6 (section)

===Brief reemergence===
The collective was relatively dormant until the release of ''[[New Magnetic Wonder]]'', a 2007 album by the Apples in Stereo.{{sfn|Shook|2013}} ''New Magnetic Wonder'' featured all four of the collective's originating members. While recording the album, they discussed new ideas, which in turn facilitated a need to make more music.{{sfn|Shook|2013}} The following year, Koster and [[Nesey Gallons]] organized the "Elephant 6 Holiday Surprise Tour," a short concert tour that featured fifteen artists and ten Elephant 6 bands.{{sfn|Hilton|2008}} Koster said "Elephant 6 is back," and added: "Somehow, everything's happening for us now. I don't know why we were ever interrupted, and why all this is happening now. But we're all just so happy."{{sfn|Hilton|2008}} The Olivia Tremor Control reunited in 2009, and Mangum returned to the public eye with solo concerts over the next few years.<ref>{{harvnb|Thiessen|2009}}; {{harvnb|Shook|2013}}</ref>

On July 30, 2012, Doss died from a reported [[aneurysm]].<ref>{{harvnb|Shook|2013}}; {{harvnb|Peisner|2018}}</ref> His death came as a shock to the collective, and stalled nearly all recordings at the time.{{sfn|Shook|2013}} Schneider said: "I can't say what it means for the Elephant 6 or the Apples ... On a musical level it's too soon to say. I mean, I don't want to say definitively that I don't want to make music again, but on a musical level there's no way to come to terms with the loss."{{sfn|Shook|2013}} The Olivia Tremor Control continued making music, and in 2017 Schneider confirmed he was producing unfinished recordings.{{sfn|Claymore|2017}} Today, the Elephant 6 collective still exists, albeit on a much smaller scale. Bands like Elf Power and of Montreal continue to record music, and many bands have moved onto Elephant 6 offshoot labels such as [[Orange Twin Records]] and [[Cloud Recordings]].{{sfn|Shook|2013}}
