who? The Athens, Georgia based Olivia Tremor Control consists of Will Cullen Hart, Bill Doss, John Fernandes, Eric Harris and Peter Erchick. This experimental band tries to combine the music of bands like The Beatles, Beach Boys, Guided By Voices, High Llamas.
the story so far: Their first release was a split 7" with the Apples in Stereo called 'Small Fi'. The band itself speaks about a special Olivia Tremor Control Method: "first there's the songs in the sense of a classic short-attention span pop song with lyrics and so-on, but then there's the Olivia Mind Control Method which is basically instrumental material that we're going to refer to as experimental". After the first release many others followed, distributed by labels like Blue Rose, Flydaddy (http://www.flydaddy.com) and the famous Elephant 6 (http://www.droom.nildram.co.uk/marchant/) label (with Neutral Milk Hotel, Apples In Stereo, The Minders and more).
why are they great? OTC are diverse and original. They have the ability to surprise you every time. Their sound varies from the strangest computer sounds to the most beautiful orchestrated compositions. And still it sounds natural. Maybe it's best to describe the music as sixties pop infatuated with many keyboard sounds and crazy samples. And don't forget some psychedelic influences. The last album Black Foliage contains twenty-seven(!) songs from which the length varies from 3 seconds to 11 minutes. The Olivia Tremor Control is a positive addiction!
quote: "Don't do drugs, unless you want to. We don't unless we do, and neither should/so should you"
so, what's next? We're not sure but the rumours are that the band is currently recording an EP which should be out next year. There's also some scoring work for the film Dean Quixote as well, apparently.
