The Olivia Tremor Control - The Same Place The Olivia Tremor Control
Pickup currently unavailable at Dawson Street
The third and final full-length double album from the co-founder of the Elephant 6 Recording Co. The first album by the band from Athens, Georgia, in 27 years.
A legend is a heavy burden. It's been 27 years since The Olivia Tremor Control's last album. During this time, they have influenced countless bands, been the subject of documentaries and biographies, and now there is finally – as unlikely as it seemed – a third album from The Olivia Tremor Control. In the 1990s, The Olivia Tremor Control released two albums of brilliant experimental and psychedelic pop: »Music from the Unrealized Script: Dusk at Cubist Castle« (1996) and »Black Foliage: Animation Music Vol. 1« (1999).
As founding members of the Elephant 6 collective, they redefined the US underground scene, bringing bright paisley colors and sonic adventures to a scene marked by dark irony and the fear of presumption. Work on the album began back in 2005, but other projects and commitments slowed down progress. In 2010, the band, consisting of Hart, Doss, John Fernandes, Pete Erchick, Eric Harris and Derek Almstead, began recording. By 2011, The Olivia Tremor Control had re-established itself as a fully active band, adding AJ Griffin and tour members Scott Spillane and Robbie Cucchario to the line-up. The band was now recording non-stop and was well on their way to completing the album. Then, in the summer of 2012, Bill Doss died suddenly and tragically. Since everyone was still in shock and mourning, work on "The Same Place" came to a standstill.
Every attempt to resume the project failed until 2023, when Athens producer and musician Jason NeSmith, after watching the Elephant 6 documentary, came on board to help. In 2024, when the album was almost finished, Will Hart passed away unexpectedly. Based on Will's extensive collection of notes, »The Same Place« was eventually completed by the surviving band members, the entire Elephant 6 community, and producers Derek Almstead, Jason NeSmith and Ron Kwasman. » The Same Place« combines everything The Olivia Tremor Control have ever done well. It does it even better and goes further than anyone could have imagined.
