Elliot Smith - From A Basement On The Hill (Remaster) (Gate) [LP]

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.
