Six Organs of Admittance is basically just one man (but what a man!)- Ben Chasny, along with whomever he ropes in for recording or for shows. This man-band started in 1997 when Ben self- released his first LP in an edition of 400, little dreaming that one day Six Organs of Admittance would sell 37 times as many records. It was just something that was destined to happen - but that was the beginning of the happening.

Over the years, Six Organs of Admittance has had many releases on a variety of labels, most notably Holy Mountain. During this time, Six Organs of Admittance became one of the most influential sounds in the free world. In 2005, Ben found a home at Drag City and released the landmark album, School of the Flower. Free jazz ninja drum master Chris Corsano joined Ben and the results were a perfect blend of melody, out-folk, minimalism and noise, getting much critical applause and ending up on year-end best-of-the-year lists by magazines such as Mojo, Wire, and Magnet.

"...Six Organs is doing for psychedelic folk what Jackson Browne and the Eagles did for pop-reared folk-rock, hybridizing polished, perfected takes on touchstones into a safe-for-anyone alloy... The acoustic guitars ace a Bert Jansch affinity, and the electric guitars supply sheets of sound and arcs of solos."
-Pitchfork, Grayson Currin
