The Sunshine Fix is the solo project of The Olivia Tremor Control's Bill Doss. The name predates the Olivia Tremor Control and is currently in use.
Doss started the project while in high school, going as far as to self-release an album on cassette called A Spiraling World of Pop, later re-released under the Elephant Six banner. Doss then met up with Will Cullen Hart and Jeff Mangum; together, they formed The Olivia Tremor Control, and the Sunshine Fix moniker was put into hiatus (although, as an aside, it became the title of an Olivia Tremor Control song, which appears on the Singles and Beyond compilation).
Following the dismantling of Olivia Tremor Control in 2000, Doss began recording under the Sunshine Fix name again, releasing a single and preparing an EP, which was released by Kindercore Records in 2000, featuring members of the Olivia Tremor Control, Of Montreal, Elf Power, and others.
In 2001, Doss formed a more stable band, adding Kevin Sweeney and Sam Mixon, and released Age of the Sun on Emperor Norton Records. A tour with Guster followed, and they continued recording, releasing Green Imagination in 2004. Although the record received a generally muted critical reception, the band continued to tour in its support. Doss also continues to record songs for a new Sunshine Fix album, though he notes that the new material has a darker direction - "more Leonard Cohen than John Lennon" [1].
