Olivia Tremor Control`s debut DUSK AT CUBIST CASTLE alternated between pop-psych gems and all-out experimental weirdness, and it helped put the Elephant 6 collective on the map. The follow-up BLACK FOLIAGE ups the ante by successfully merging those two elements. Thus, we have swirling, REVOLVER-ish songcraft seamlessly meshed with all manner of musical arcana and effects. BLACK FOLIAGE is notable both for OTC`s pop mastery and for the group`s skill at sound manipulation. It`s a landmark of modern psychedelia and arguably the SGT. PEPPER of the Elephant 6 universe.
