BACK IN PRINT ON NEW JALAPENO COLORED VINYL!!!

After a decade of being impossible to find, Chunklet brings back THE OLIVIA TREMOR CONTROL’s classic sophomore release Black Foliage remastered from the original tapes and packaged in Stoughton tip on gatefold jackets with a download code of nearly three hours of hard-to-find previously unreleased material. Received a 9.4 rating from Pitchfork.

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.

In addition to the vinyl and artwork, the band has sifted through their archives to give fans over three hours of rare, hard-to-find or previously unreleased material in a 320kps download card. Drone. Tape loops. Live tracks. And finally, for the first time, all of the rare import b-sides and compilation tracks that came out in the 90’s are in one place.

One-time pressing of 1,000 copies.
