Biography:
The Olivia Tremor Control was an Athens, Georgia, USA psychedelic rock band in the mid- to late 1990s which, along with The Apples in Stereo and Neutral Milk Hotel, was one of the three original Elephant 6 projects. The band was founded by the remnants of the group Synthetic Flying Machine (Jeff Mangum, Bill Doss, and Will Cullen Hart) in 1994 and disbanded in early 2000. The band reunited in 2009
The band's distinct sound is a mixture of Doss and Hart's experimental tendencies.

We're in the movies, watching some people move their mouths

And a religious figure, who's not really a religious figure
E D
Cause he's an actor

We feel okay, which is how we feel most of the time, now
E D
Nothing can be done without the willingness

To succeed

Let's go to the opera since

All of our favorite memories have failed us

You make the choice, you make the choice,

You make the choice, you make the choice
(no guitar for this gap)

Historic properties, historic places

The next generation lost in a sea of faces

No sidewalks, I just need some kicks

You make the choice, you make the choice,
E D
You make the choice, you make the choice
