Elliot Smith

Any posthumous work is inevitably bittersweet. Smith’s struggles with drugs and depression were well known, and he always projected a breakable quality—onstage he often came off more as simply weary than rock star. It’s that very fragility that made his songs so personal and lovely. From a Basement on a Hill brings together three years’ worth of songs; Smith was working on it at the time of his death. Catch a last glimpse into a man with such a gift, who sadly was too tired of living. Available October 19
