Ears Wide Open - Mike's Podcast

The Olivia Tremor Control hail from Georiga, USA. They were founders of the Elephant Six collective, a group of experimental musicians and friends that spawned, among others, Apples in Stereo, Of Montreal, Elf Power, Great Lakes and Essex Green. I've concretated on the bands nearest to The Olivia Tremor Control on the E6 family tree as an introduction to this wonderfully psychedelic underworld of music.

If you want to know more about these bands and the Elephant Six Collective I can recommend their very own website: 'www.elephant6.com'.

Dedicated to Trev Faull, without whom I may never have discovered everything you hear on this Ears Wide Open special.
