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.
