In July 2026 the lo‑fi psychedelic pop collective Olivia Tremor Control announced that its first studio album in 27 years, *The Same Place*, would be issued on 23 October 2024 through the Elephant 6 Recording Co. The release follows the band’s 2000 disbandment, a series of reunion shows, and the deaths of co‑founders Bill Doss (2012) and Will Cullen Hart (2024). Surviving members and longtime collaborators completed the 27‑track double album, which was made available globally, including a Japanese edition. Later that month, a second announcement reiterated the Olivia Tremor Control album launch and added that British Britpop group Elastica had posted a brief Instagram message confirming the band’s return. While Elastica did not detail new recordings or tour plans, the post sparked renewed fan interest. Together, the two announcements highlight a broader resurgence of influential 1990s acts re‑emerging with new material or activity after long periods of inactivity. ## Timeline ### 2026-07-31: Olivia Tremor Control and Elastica announce comeback after years of silence Olivia Tremor Control will release a new album after 27 years, while Elastica announced a comeback on Instagram, hinting at upcoming projects. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/olivia-tremor-control-and-elastica-announce-comeback-after-years-of-silence ### 2026-07-17: Olivia Tremor Control Releases First New Album in 27 Years Olivia Tremor Control, an Elephant 6 band, released its first studio album in 27 years—“The Same Place”—on 23 Oct 2024, after the deaths of co‑founders Bill Doss (2012) and Will Cullen Hart (2024). 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/olivia-tremor-control-releases-first-new-album-in-27-years --- Cite as: 1990s alternative bands' comeback releases.
