Olivia Tremor Control announces its first new album in 27 years, titled “The Same Place.” The lo-fi psychedelic pop band, known for its role in Athens, Georgia’s Elephant 6 collective in the 1990s, released two albums before breaking up: “Dusk at Cubist Castle” (1996) and “Black Foliage: Animation Music Volume One” (1999). After the band regrouped for reunion shows, co-leaders Bill Doss and Will Cullen Hart died—Doss in 2012 and Hart in 2024. Sources say remaining members have completed work on a large double album that Doss and Hart began about 20 years ago. The new release is framed as a continuation of that long-running project and is dedicated in honor of the two late band leaders, according to one outlet. Both accounts describe “The Same Place” as the band’s third album and as a major release following a long period without new studio material, presenting it as a culmination of the group’s earlier work and recent efforts to finish what was started.

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.
