Olivia Tremor Control and Elastica announce comeback after years of silence

The American indie‑psychedelic collective Olivia Tremor Control announced that its long‑awaited album of new material, *The Same Place*, will be released on 23 October through The Elephant 6 Recording Co., marking the first collection of original songs in 27 years. The project, completed after the deaths of co‑founders Bill Doss and Will Hart, reflects a prolonged creative process spanning more than fifteen years.

British Britpop band Elastica resurfaced on Instagram with a brief message confirming that the group is “back” and hinting at upcoming activities, though details on new recordings or tour dates were not provided. Formed in 1992, the band’s debut album remains the fastest‑selling debut in UK history. The new post has reignited fan interest and speculation about possible releases or live shows.

Both announcements signal a resurgence for two influential acts from the 1990s, each promising fresh material or projects after long periods of inactivity.
