Elliott Smith was an American singer-songwriter known for his introspective and emotionally charged music. Born in Omaha, Nebraska, Smith began his musical career as a member of the indie rock band Heatmiser before pursuing a solo career. His delicate vocals and intricate guitar work captivated audiences, earning him critical acclaim and a devoted fan base. With albums like "Either/Or" and "XO," Smith showcased his talent for crafting poignant lyrics that explored themes of love, loss, and addiction. Tragically, Smith's life was cut short in 2003 at the age of 34, but his legacy lives on through his timeless music.
Throughout his career, Elliott Smith garnered praise for his ability to convey raw emotion through his songs. His intimate performances drew listeners in with their vulnerability and honesty. Whether he was singing about heartbreak or inner turmoil, Smith's music resonated with fans who found solace in his poetic lyrics.
In addition to being a talented musician, Elliott Smith was also recognized for his contributions to film soundtracks. He received an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song in 1998 for "Miss Misery," which appeared on the soundtrack of the film "Good Will Hunting." This recognition further solidified Smith's status as a respected artist within the industry.

Back In Stock

When Elliott Smith's self-titled second album came out in 1995, it was ignored by the press but championed by artists from the Beastie Boys to Fugazi. To commemorate the twenty-fifth anniversary of Elliott Smith, the Kill Rock Stars label is releasing a special deluxe package, which includes a new remastering of the original record; a coffee table book of previously unseen photographs by JJ Gonson with handwritten lyrics, reminiscences from Smith's friends and colleagues, and previously unseen photographs; and a bonus disc documenting the earliest known recording of Smith performing as a solo act. The set is a revelatory look at an under-appreciated work by an artist whose influence continues to expand seventeen years after his death.
