Elliott Smith - New Moon 2LP (Gatefold)

Arguably the most gifted songwriter of his generation, Smith produced a large body of work that includes five solo albums and a collection of songs completed before his death in 2003. This double LP contains twenty-four songs recorded between 1994 and 1997, a prolific time in Elliott's career, when he recorded his self-titled album and "Either/Or". Like his other work, "New Moon" reflects the power of Smith's ability to integrate rich, melodic music with poetic, multi-layered lyrics.
