DBWS 2-23: The Sunshine Fix — Age of the Sun As the 1990s came to a close, the Elephant 6 universe entered one of its most fascinating and creative chapters. The Olivia Tremor Control — the Athens, Georgia kaleidoscopic psychedelic pop machine that helped define an era .. had drifted into different corners of time and space. Its two visionary songwriters began exploring new worlds: Will Cullen Hart traveled deeper into the dreamlike experimental galaxies of Circulatory System, while Bill Doss chased the eternal glow of the perfect pop song with The Sunshine Fix. And with Age of the Sun, Bill created his post OTC masterpiece. Filled with Byrds-like harmonies, sun-drenched melodies, 1960s psychedelic color, a little 70's funk and the beautiful layered orchestration we'd come to know from OTC, Age of the Sun feels like a transmission from another dimension.. completely powered by Bill’s unmistakable optimism, his worldly lyrics, and melodic genius On this episode we talk with Sunshine Fix members Derek Almstead and Kevin Sweeney about what it was like working alongside Bill Doss — not just as a songwriter, but as a friend, producer, and bandleader. They share stories of Bill’s kindness, his endless encouragement, his belief in the people around him, and the way he created space for every musician to bring their own personality into the music. Much like Paul McCartney building Wings after that “other little band he was in” Bill wasn’t looking for hired hands. He was building a BAND. This is a conversation about friendship, collaboration, creativity, and the magic that happens when a great songwriter trusts the people around him.
