Let me add my voice to the chorus — a brilliant, beautiful chorus, of course — of folks who are devastated today to learn of the death of Olivia Tremor Control‘s Bill Doss. OTC (and the Elephant 6 collective in general) was one of my favorite bands in my formative years, and Doss had a knack for melody and harmony that far exceeded most of his peers in pop music. To lose him at such a young age — he was in his early 40s — is just heartbreaking.
Here’s Doss (singing lead) and his band performing just a couple of weeks ago at the Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago.
