The Olivia Tremor Control announced their first new album in 27 years [1], titled "The Same Place."
The release marks a significant return for the influential Elephant 6 collective band after nearly three decades of silence. It serves as a tribute to co-founders Bill Doss and Will Cullen Hart, who died [3].
The album is scheduled for release on Oct. 23, 2026 [2]. It will be published via Elephant 6 Recording Co. [2].
This project represents the third album overall for the group [3]. The announcement comes as a surprise to the indie and psychedelic music communities, given the length of the hiatus and the loss of the band's primary architects.
While the band has not released specific track lists or promotional singles, the project is framed as a final piece of the collective's legacy. The timing of the announcement this month aligns with a broader interest in the archival and commemorative works of the Elephant 6 circle.
“First new album in 27 years”
The return of The Olivia Tremor Control is less a traditional comeback and more a posthumous curation. By releasing a new work nearly three decades after their last, the group is cementing the legacy of Doss and Hart while providing closure for a cult following that has long viewed the Elephant 6 collective as a pivotal influence on modern psychedelic pop.
