This off shoot side project of the Elephant 6 Olivia Tremor Control is a more thoughtful and trippy, less playful and poppy version. This experimental Beatles esque band brings as many strange sounding instruments as possible into the mix without sounding cluttered. They sound a lot like the Beatles with their textured pop melodies and themes. You really notice it right away on the albums opener Yesterday's World that sounds a lot like Strawberry fields mixed with Lucy in the Sky. They do however give something new to this whole scene, there's a good amount of distortion which the Beatles never had and a lot of clever obscure (Oboes and accordions?) instruments as well.
This album will float by like a colorful dream and you wont know where the time went.
I would definitely get this if you're a fan of the Beatles or Elephant 6 (in that case you probably already have it anyway)
Sounds like
A trippyer Beatles
