Olivia Tremor Control leader Bill Doss has died, according to the band’s website. The cause of death is currently unknown, but Doss was performing live with the band as recently as two weeks ago at Pitchfork Music Festival. He was 44 years old.

A statement on the band’s website says, “We are devastated by the loss of our brother Bill Doss. We are at a loss for words,” the site says.

In addition to his efforts with Olivia Tremor Control, Doss co-founded the famed Elephant 6 Recording Company, and spearheaded a solo project called The Sunshine Fix.

just saw them for the first time last week after being a huge fan for years ( I was really young when I got into them and they broke up before I had a chance to see them initially)...I'm heartbroken.

Pretty good write up in the Flagpole from Ryan Lewis, John Fernandes and others. Still no cause of death?
