Elliot Smith – From A Basement On The Hill (2-LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Elliott Smith was deep in the sessions for this record when he died in October 2003, leaving collaborators Rob Schnapf and Joanna Bolme to shepherd the finished work into the world. The result is something rare: a posthumous release that feels genuinely complete, not assembled from scraps, but shaped by an artist still reaching toward something new. The remaster brings fresh clarity to some of the most emotionally unguarded recordings of Smith's career.
Originally released posthumously in 2004, this new edition of From a Basement on the Hill has been remastered by Adam Gonsalves at Telegraph Mastering, with high-resolution tape transfers overseen by official archivist Larry Crane. This reissue features a stunning deluxe mirror-board gatefold jacket. Elliott Smith's final studio album-and his highest-charting release-was met with widespread acclaim from fans and critics alike, noting the album's expanded musical textures that nevertheless retained the welcoming and empathetic intimacy of Smith's songwriting. Rich with swampy guitar lines and hazy vocals, From a Basement unifies the '60s psychedelic sound often cited by Smith as a primary inspiration with his own signature stylings.
