Bill Doss, member of Olivia Tremor Control and co-founder of The Elephant 6 Recording Company, has died, Flagpole Music reports and the Olivia Tremor Control site confirms. "We are devastated by the loss of our brother Bill Doss. We are at a loss for words," the site says. He was 43 years old. The cause of death has not been announced.

Doss, along with Jeff Mangum and Will Cullen Hart launched the Olivia Tremor Control in 1988 in Louisiana. Eventually, they moved to Athens, Georgia, and Mangum split with the band to pursue his work in Neutral Milk Hotel. The Olivia Tremor Control went on to release two widely loved full-length albums in the 1990s: 1996's Music From the Unrealized Film Script, Dusk at Cubist Castle and 1999's Black Foliage: Animation Music Volume One. Following Black Foliage, Doss turned his attention to the Sunshine Fix.

Doss also helped launch Elephant 6, a collective of like-minded indie psych-pop revivalist acts that included the Apples in Stereo, Neutral Milk Hotel, Of Montreal, Elf Power, and more.
