The Olivia Tremor Control Announce First New Album In 27 Years The Same Place

The idea of a new Olivia Tremor Control was basically unthinkable, but it's happening anyway. The lo-fi psychedelic pop band was a key driving force in Athens, Georgia's Elephant 6 collective in the '90s, but they only released two cult-beloved albums, 1996's Dusk At Cubist Castle and 1999's Black Foliage: Animation Music Volume One, before breaking up. Years later, the band got together to play reunion shows, and co-leaders Bill Doss and Will Cullen Hart both passed away — Doss in 2012, Hart in 2024. But Doss and Hart's bandmates have finished work on the massive double album that the two of them started work on 20 years ago, and now it's coming out.

Working from the notes that Hart left behind, the surviving Olivia Tremor Control members got together with fellow Elephant 6 members and producers Derek Almstead, Jason NeSmith, and Ron Kwasma to finish work on The Same Place, a 27--track double album that's coming out this fall. On the same day that the world learned of Hart's passing, he released two new Olivia Tremor Control songs, "The Same Place" and "Garden Of Light." Both of those tracks are on the album, along with a great many others. Below, check out those songs and the tracklist for the third and final Olivia Tremor Control album.
