It's good to be here again after a summer spent shaking my head at the lack of interesting music coming from these shores and sheltering from the awful English weather. I've still managed to amass a pile of new albums however and that's why this first podcast in a while is a little new track heavy. So to the music; Polyphonic Spree - Soldier Girl Micah P. Hinson - We Embraced Little Jackie - 28 Butts The Ruby Suns - Adventure Tour Voice Of The Seven Woods - Second Transition Pink Floyd - The Great Gig In The Sky Patrick Watson - Close To Paradise Beachwood Sparks - Juggler's Revenge Agnostic Mountain Gospel Choir - Empire State Express Lord Skywave - Dialogues Swan Lake - All Fires The Little Ones - Spoke On A Wheel We All Have Hooks For Hands - Hold On, C'mon Swirlies - Bell Alton Ellis - Willow Tree The Hold Steady - Sequestered In Memphis Giant Sand - Flying Around The Sun With Remarkable Speed Fleet Foxes - Ragged Wood Nouns - Teen Creeps Manitoba - Crayon Lilys - Scott Free

An Ears Wide Open Special – The world of 'The Olivia Tremor Control'.

Mike Freeman — Thu, 15 May 2008 12:08:42 GMT

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.
