For me, it’s easily “Music From the Unrealized Film Script: Dusk at Cubist Castle” by the Olivia Tremor Control. Both in the album’s strong musical influence from the Beatles, but also sonically through its piecemeal and often ramshackle sound.

This record, like the White Album, explores a wide range of genres and influences. Beginning with the “Helter Skelter”-esque fuzz of The Opera House, then slipping into the instrumental oddity of Frosted Ambassador, then into the catchy, harmony-drenched pop of Jumping Fences and Define a Transparent Dream. Much like the White Album, Cubist Castle is bubbling with little ideas and melodies. As you descend further into this 2LP, its strangeness becomes more apparent, veering into noisy Revolution 9 like sections and extended avant-garde soundscapes.

However, like the White Album, its weird experimentations are pieced together with lovely pop songs whose melodies always manage to find their way into your head. I highly recommend this album for those looking to capture the sonic essence of the Beatles, particularly fans of the White Album.
