Product Details

Portland's Elliott Smith spent the 1990s redefining what a solo acoustic record could carry emotionally, building from his early Kill Rock Stars releases to increasingly orchestrated work before his death in 2003. His catalog spans stark bedroom recordings and lush string arrangements, yet his voice and fingerpicked guitar remain the constant thread across all of it. For anyone just finding their way in, this fourteen-track sweep across all seven albums is a genuine front door to one of the most personal bodies of work in American songwriting.


On November 2nd Kill Rock Stars will release An Introduction to...Elliott Smith on CD and 180 gram vinyl. The album features fourteen tracks compiled from all seven of Elliott Smith's albums (including his albums on Geffen): Roman Candle, Elliott Smith, Either/Or, XO, Figure 8, From A Basement on the Hill, and New Moon.
