After the release of the second Olivia Tremor Control album, Black Foliage, the band broke up, and Doss went on to re-start The Sunshine Fix. His first full length, Age of the Sun, was released in 2002, which was an album that found its roots in traditional pop harmonies owing much to The Zombies and The Beatles.
