The Olivia Tremor Control shaped me in ways I can hardly put into words. Their music—especially Dusk at Cubist Castle—has been a constant source of joy, inspiration, and wonder. My favorite band ever!
Recently, I had the honor of co-hosting Don’t Bother Wearing Seatbelts for Discograffiti Podcast, interviewing Will Cullen Hart about his amazing catalog.
Six days later, Olivia Tremor Control released new music for the first time in over a decade. I wept with joy. Just hours later, I heard the heartbreaking news of Will’s passing. The grief was immediate, but so was the gratitude—for the music that changed my life.
Their influence lives on forever. 💙 Listen to Will’s final interview: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6gncg413zxcKClZTkyWudA?si=AuEFxXMBRk-4Xg5q4WglwA
