Musical artist

Steven Paul Smith (August 6, 1969 – Oct 21, 2003), known professionally as Elliott Smith, was an American singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. Smith was built-in in Omaha, Nebraska, raised primarily in Texas, and lived much of his life in Portland, Oregon, where he first gained popularity. Smith'southward primary instrument was the guitar, though he also played piano, clarinet, bass guitar, drums, and harmonica. Smith had a distinctive vocal way, characterized by his "whispery, spiderweb-thin commitment",[5] and often used multi-tracking to create vocal layers, textures, and harmonies.

After playing in the rock band Heatmiser for several years, Smith began his solo career in 1994, with releases on the independent record labels Crenel Search and Impale Rock Stars (KRS). In 1997, he signed a contract with DreamWorks Records, for which he recorded two albums.[vi] Smith rose to mainstream prominence when his song "Miss Misery"—included in the soundtrack for the film Skilful Will Hunting (1997)—was nominated for an Oscar in the Best Original Song category in 1998.[7]

Smith was a heavy drinker and drug user at times throughout his life, and was diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and depression. His struggles with drugs and mental illness afflicted his life and piece of work, and often appeared in his lyrics. In 2003, aged 34, he died in Los Angeles, California, from two stab wounds to the chest.[eight] The autopsy evidence was inconclusive as to whether the wounds were self-inflicted or the result of homicide.[nine] At the time of his death, Smith was working on his 6th studio album, From a Basement on the Hill, which was posthumously produced and released in 2004.

Early life [edit]

Steven Paul Smith was born at the Methodist Hospital in Omaha, Nebraska, the but kid of Gary Smith, a student at the University of Nebraska Medical Centre, and Bunny Kay Berryman, an elementary schoolhouse music teacher. His parents divorced when he was six months old, and Smith moved with his mother to Duncanville, Texas. Smith later had a tattoo of a map of Texas drawn on his upper arm and said: "I didn't get it because I like Texas, kind of the opposite. Just I won't forget about information technology, although I'm tempted to considering I don't like information technology in that location."[x]

Smith endured a hard babyhood[eleven] and a troubled relationship with his stepfather Charlie Welch.[12] Smith stated he may accept been sexually abused past Welch at a immature age, an allegation that Welch has denied.[xi] [13] He wrote virtually this part of his life in "Some Song". The proper noun "Charlie" also appears in songs "Flowers for Charlie" and "No Conviction Man." In a 2004 interview, Jennifer Chiba, Smith'southward partner at the time of his decease, said that Smith's hard childhood was partly why he needed to sedate himself with drugs as an adult: "He was remembering traumatic things from his childhood – parts of things. Information technology's not my place to say what."[11]

For much of his babyhood, Smith'southward family was a part of the Community of Christ[14] but began attending services at a local Methodist church. Smith felt that going to church did petty for him, except brand him "really scared of Hell".[14] In 2001, he said: "I don't necessarily purchase into any officially structured version of spirituality. Merely I accept my own version of it."[15]

Smith began playing piano at age nine, and at ten began learning guitar on a small audio-visual guitar bought for him by his male parent.[16] At this historic period he composed an original pianoforte piece, "Fantasy", which won him a prize at an arts festival.[fifteen] Many of the people on his mother's side of the family unit were non-professional person musicians; his grandfather was a Dixieland drummer, and his grandmother sang in a glee guild.[fifteen]

Smith graduated from Lincoln High School in Portland, Oregon.

At fourteen, Smith left his mother's habitation in Texas and moved to Portland, Oregon, to live with his father, who was and so working as a psychiatrist. It was around this time that Smith began using drugs, including booze, with friends. He also began experimenting with recording for the first time after borrowing a four-rails recorder.[15] At high schoolhouse, Smith played clarinet in the schoolhouse ring and played guitar and pianoforte; he also sang in the bands Stranger Than Fiction[12] and A Murder of Crows,[17] billed as either Steven Smith or "Johnny Panic".[18] He graduated from Lincoln High School as a National Merit Scholar.[nineteen]

After graduation, Smith began calling himself "Elliott", saying that he thought "Steve" sounded too much like a "jock" name, and that "Steven" sounded "besides academic".[19] According to friends, he had also used the pseudonym "Elliott Stillwater-Rotter" during his time in the band A Murder of Crows.[20] Biographer S. R. Shutt speculates that the name was either inspired by Elliott Avenue, a street that Smith had lived on in Portland, or that it was suggested by his and then-girlfriend. A junior high acquaintance of Smith speculates Smith inverse his name so as non to be dislocated with Steve Smith, the drummer of Journeying.[21]

Career [edit]

1991–1996: Heatmiser [edit]

In 1991 Smith graduated from Hampshire College in Amherst, Massachusetts with a degree in philosophy and political science. "Went straight through in four years", he explained to Nether the Radar in 2003. "I estimate information technology proved to myself that I could do something I actually didn't desire to for 4 years. Except I did like what I was studying. At the time it seemed like, 'This is your ane and only adventure to become to college and y'all had just better do information technology because some day y'all might wish that you did.' Plus, the whole reason I applied in the first place was because of my girlfriend, and I had gotten accepted already even though we had cleaved up before the kickoff day."[xvi] After he graduated, he "worked in a bakery back in Portland with a bachelor's caste in philosophy and legal theory".[xvi]

While at Hampshire, Smith formed the band Heatmiser with classmate Neil Gust.[22] After Smith graduated from Hampshire, the ring added drummer Tony Lash and bassist Brandt Peterson and began performing around Portland in 1992.[23] The group released the albums Expressionless Air (1993) and Cop and Speeder (1994) as well as the Yellow No. v EP (1994) on Frontier Records.[23] They were then signed to Virgin Records to release what became their terminal album, Mic City Sons (1996).[24]

Around this time, Smith and Gust worked a number of odd jobs around Portland, including installing drywall, spreading gravel, transplanting bamboo copse, and painting the roof of a warehouse with estrus reflective paint. The pair were likewise on unemployment benefits for some time, which they considered an "artist grant".[25]

Smith had begun his solo career while still in Heatmiser, and the success of his first ii releases created distance and tension with his band.[25] Heatmiser disbanded prior to the release of Mic City Sons, prompting Virgin to put the album out inauspiciously through its contained arm, Caroline Records.[24] A clause in Heatmiser's record contract with Virgin meant that Smith was withal bound to it equally an individual. The contract was after bought out by DreamWorks prior to the recording of his 4th album, XO.[26]

1994: Roman Candle [edit]

In the early on 1990s, Smith'southward girlfriend at the time convinced him to send a record of songs he had recently recorded on a borrowed four-track to Cavity Search Records.[25] Cavity possessor Christopher Cooper asked to release the entire album of songs, which surprised Smith, as he was expecting only a bargain for a seven-inch record.[ten] The album became Smith's release, Roman Candle (1994).[10]

Smith said: "I thought my head would be chopped off immediately when it came out because at the time it was then opposite to the grunge thing that was popular ... The thing is that album was actually well received, which was a total daze, and it immediately eclipsed [Heatmiser], unfortunately."[25] Smith felt his solo songs were non representative of the music Heatmiser was making: "The idea of playing [my music] for people didn't occur to me... because at the time information technology was the Northwest—Mudhoney and Nirvana—and going out to play an acoustic show was like crawling out on a limb and begging for it to be sawed off."[27]

I of Smith's beginning solo performances was at the now-defunct Umbra Penumbra on September 17, 1994. Just three songs from Roman Candle were performed, with the majority of the ten-vocal fix being B-sides, Heatmiser tunes and unreleased tracks.[28] The same yr, Smith released a dissever 7-inch record with Pete Krebs via Slo-Mo Records, contributing the track "No Confidence Man".[29]

1995–1997: Elliott Smith and Either/Or [edit]

In 1995, Smith'due south cocky-titled album was released on Impale Rock Stars; the record featured a style of recording similar to Roman Candle, but with hints of growth and experimentation.[ citation needed ] Though the majority of the album was recorded past Smith alone, friend and The Spinanes singer Rebecca Gates sang harmony vocals on "St. Ides Heaven", and Heatmiser guitarist Neil Gust played guitar on "Single File". Several songs fabricated reference to drugs, merely Smith explained that he used the theme of drugs as a vehicle for carrying dependence rather than the songs being about drugs specifically.[xxx] Looking back, Smith felt that the album's pervasive mood gave him "a reputation for existence a really dark, depressed person" and said that he afterward made a conscious move toward more than diverse moods in his music.[31]

In 1996, filmmaker Jem Cohen recorded Smith playing acoustic songs for the brusque moving-picture show Lucky 3: An Elliott Smith Portrait.[32] Two of these songs would appear on his next album, Either/Or, which was another Impale Stone Stars release. Either/Or came out in 1997 to favorable reviews.[33] The album found Smith venturing further into total instrumentation, with several songs containing bass guitar, drums, keyboards, and electric guitars, all played by Smith. The album championship was derived from the 2-volume book of the same name past Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard, whose works by and large deal with themes such as existential despair, angst, death, and God.[ citation needed ]

By this time, Smith'southward already-heavy drinking was being compounded with use of antidepressants.[34] At the end of the Either/Or tour, some of his close friends staged an intervention in Chicago,[34] but information technology proved ineffective.[xi] Shortly after, Smith relocated from Portland to Jersey City, New Bailiwick of jersey, and later Brooklyn, New York.[35]

1997–98: "Miss Misery" and the Oscars [edit]

In 1997, Smith was selected by director and fellow Portland resident Gus Van Sant to be a part of the soundtrack to his moving picture, Good Will Hunting. Smith recorded an orchestral version of "Betwixt the Bars" with composer Danny Elfman for the movie. Smith likewise contributed a new vocal, "Miss Misery", and three previously released tracks ("No Name #3", from Roman Candle, and "Angeles" and "Say Yes", from Either/Or). The film was a commercial and critical success, and Smith was nominated for an Academy Honor for "Miss Misery". Not eager to step into the limelight, he agreed to perform the song at the anniversary only later the producers informed him that if he was unwilling to perform, they would choose someone else to play it.[25] [ failed verification ]

On March 5, 1998, Smith made his network television debut on Late Night with Conan O'Brien performing "Miss Misery" solo on audio-visual guitar.[36] A few days later, wearing a white suit, he played an abridged version of the vocal at the Oscars, accompanied by the house orchestra. James Horner and Volition Jennings won the award that night for best song with "My Heart Volition Go along" (sung by Celine Dion) from the film Titanic. Smith did not voice disappointment almost not winning the award.[37]

Smith commented on the surrealism of the Oscars feel: "That's exactly what it was, surreal... I enjoy performing almost as much as I enjoy making up songs in the outset identify. Just the Oscars was a very strange bear witness, where the set was just ane song cut down to less than two minutes, and the audience was a lot of people who didn't come up to hear me play. I wouldn't desire to live in that world, only it was fun to walk around on the moon for a day."[38]

1998–2000: XO and Figure 8 [edit]

In 1998, afterwards the success of Either/Or and "Miss Misery", Smith signed to a bigger tape label, DreamWorks Records. Around the same time, Smith fell into low, speaking openly of because suicide,[34] and on at least one occasion[eleven] made a serious endeavour at ending his own life.[39] While in N Carolina, he became severely intoxicated and ran off a cliff. He landed on a tree, which badly impaled him simply bankrupt his fall.[eleven] When questioned about his suicide attempt, he told an interviewer, "Yeah, I jumped off a cliff, but let's talk most something else."[35]

Christopher Cooper, head of Cavity Search Records (which released Roman Candle), said about this time in Smith's life, "I talked him out of thinking that he wanted to kill himself numerous times when he was in Portland. I kept telling him that he was a brilliant homo, and that life was worth living, and that people loved him."[34] Pete Krebs also agreed: "In Portland we got the brunt of Elliott's initial depression... Lots of people accept stories of their own experiences of staying up with Elliott 'til five in the forenoon, holding his hand, telling him not to kill himself."[35]

Smith'southward showtime release for DreamWorks was later that twelvemonth. Titled XO, it was conceived and adult while Smith wrote it out over the wintertime of 1997/1998, night after nighttime seated at the bar in Luna Lounge. It was produced by the team of Rob Schnapf and Tom Rothrock. XO too contained some instrumentation from Los Angeles musicians Joey Waronker and Jon Brion. Information technology contained a more total-sounding, baroque pop sound than any of his previous efforts, with songs featuring a horn section, Chamberlins, elaborate string arrangements, and fifty-fifty a drum loop on the vocal "Independence Twenty-four hours". His familiar double-tracked vocal and audio-visual guitar style were nevertheless apparent while his somewhat personal lyrical style survived. The album went on to peak at number 104 on the Billboard 200[40] and number 123 on the United kingdom Album Charts,[41] while selling 400,000 copies[42] (more than double that of each of his two Kill Stone Stars releases), becoming the best-selling release of his career.[43] Smith's backing band during virtually of this period was the Portland-based group Quasi, consisting of former bandmate Sam Coomes on bass guitar and Coomes'southward ex-married woman Janet Weiss on drums. Quasi also performed as the opening act at many shows on the tour, with Smith sometimes contributing bass guitar, guitar, or bankroll vocals. On October 17, 1998, Smith appeared on Saturday Dark Live and performed "Flit No. 2 (XO)". His backing band for this appearance was John Moen, Jon Brion, Rob Schnapf, and Sam Coomes.

In response to whether the change to a bigger record label would influence his creative control, Smith said, "I retrieve despite the fact that sometimes people look at major labels as but money-making machines, they're actually equanimous of individuals who are real people, and at that place's a part of them that needs to experience that role of their chore is to put out good music."[44] Smith likewise claimed in another interview that he never read his reviews for fear that they would interfere with his songwriting.[45] It was during this period that Smith appeared on Dutch television set in 1998 and provided a candid interview in which he spoke of his assessment of his music career until that point:

Yeah, I don't know. I hateful, I generally just know things are dissimilar considering people ask me different questions, just I don't feel like things are very changed. I mean, I nonetheless, I exercise the same things that I did before … I recollect well-nigh the aforementioned things, so … I'm the wrong kind of person to be really big and famous.[46]

As part of the Dutch boob tube special, Smith played live versions of "Waltz No. two (XO)", "Miss Misery", and "I Didn't Understand"—the latter two songs were performed solely on pianoforte, while the first song was cut short by Smith, as he explained: "I had to cease it considering it's… you lot know, what's the point of playing a song badly? Information technology'd exist better to play it and mean it, than to merely walk through it."[46]

Smith relocated from Brooklyn to Los Angeles in 1999,[35] taking upward residence at a cabin in the Silvery Lake section of boondocks, where he would regularly play intimate, audio-visual shows at local venues like Silverlake Lounge.[48] [49] He also performed in Toronto in April that yr.[l] In the fall, his cover of the Beatles' "Considering" was featured in the terminate credits of DreamWorks' Oscar-winning drama American Beauty, and appeared on the film's soundtrack album.

The final album Smith completed, Figure 8, was released on April 18, 2000. It featured the return of Rothrock, Schnapf, Brion, and Waronker and was partially recorded at Abbey Road Studios in England, with an obvious Beatles influence in the songwriting and product. The album garnered favorable reviews,[51] and peaked at number 99 on the Billboard 200[40] and 37 on the UK Anthology Charts.[41] The album received praise for its power popular fashion and complex arrangements, described as creating a "sweeping kaleidoscope of layered instruments and sonic textures".[47] However, some reviewers felt that Smith'south trademark dark and melancholy songwriting had lost some of its subtlety, with ane reviewer likening some of the lyrics to "the cocky-pitying complaints of an adolescent venting in his diary".[52]

Album art and promotional pictures from the catamenia showed Smith looking cleaned-up and put-together. An extensive tour in promotion of the record ensued, book-ended by telly appearances on Late Night with Conan O'Brien and the Tardily Show with David Letterman. However, Smith's condition began to deteriorate equally he had become addicted to heroin either towards the end of or only subsequently the Effigy 8 bout.[xi]

2001–2002: Habit and scrapped recordings [edit]

Around the fourth dimension he began recording his concluding album, Smith began to display signs of paranoia, often believing that a white van followed him wherever he went.[53] He would accept friends drop him off for recording sessions almost a mile away from the studio, and to reach the location, he would trudge through hundreds of yards of brush and cliffs. He started telling people that DreamWorks was out to become him: "Not long agone my house was broken into, and songs were stolen off my reckoner which have wound up in the hands of certain people who work at a certain label. I've also been followed around for months at a time. I wouldn't fifty-fifty want to necessarily say it's the people from that label who are post-obit me around, merely information technology was probably them who bankrupt into my business firm."[25] During this menses, Smith inappreciably ate, subsisting primarily on ice cream. He would become without sleeping for several days so sleep for an entire solar day.[ commendation needed ]

A follow-upward to Smith'due south 2000 album was originally planned to happen with Rob Schnapf, but their sessions were abandoned. Smith also began distancing himself from manager Margaret Mittleman, who had handled him since the Roman Candle days.[xi] He finally began recording a new album with just himself and Jon Brion equally producers erstwhile during 2001. The pair had recorded a substantial amount of music for the album when Brion stopped the sessions considering of Smith's struggle with substance use disorder.[54] Their friendship promptly concluded, and Smith scrapped all of their work until that point. He afterwards said "At that place was fifty-fifty a petty more than half of a record washed before this new 1 that I just scrapped because of a blown friendship with someone that fabricated me so depressed I didn't want to hear whatever of those songs. He was only helping me tape the songs and stuff, so the friendship kind of fell apart suddenly one twenty-four hour period. It just fabricated it kind of awkward being lonely in the automobile listening to the songs."[25]

When Brion sent a bill for the abandoned sessions to DreamWorks, executives Lenny Waronker and Luke Wood scheduled a meeting with Smith to decide what went wrong with the sessions. Smith complained of intrusion upon his personal life from the characterization, equally well every bit poor promotion for the Figure viii album. The talks proved fruitless, and shortly after, Smith sent a bulletin to the executives, stating that if they did not release him from his contract, he would take his ain life.[eleven] In May 2001, Smith set out to re-record the album, mostly on his own, only with some assistance from David McConnell of Goldenboy. McConnell told Spin that, during this time, Smith would fume over $1,500 worth of heroin and scissure per day, would often talk well-nigh suicide, and on numerous occasions tried to give himself an overdose.[55] Steven Drozd of The Flaming Lips and Scott McPherson of Sense Field played a few drum tracks, Sam Coomes contributed some bass guitar and backing vocals, simply almost every other musical instrument was recorded past Smith.[ citation needed ]

Smith's song "Needle in the Hay" was included in Wes Anderson'southward 2001 dark comedy movie The Purple Tenenbaums during a suicide attempt scene. Smith was originally supposed to contribute a cover of The Beatles' "Hey Jude" for the flick, merely when he failed to do so in time, Anderson had to use The Mutato Muzika Orchestra's version of the track instead.[56] Anderson would later say that Smith "was in a bad state" at the fourth dimension.[56] [ failed verification ]

Smith's live performances during 2001 and 2002 were infrequent, typically in the Pacific Northwest or Los Angeles. A review of his December twenty, 2001, prove at Portland's Crystal Ballroom expressed business over his appearance and functioning: his hair was uncharacteristically greasy and long, his face was bearded and gaunt, and during his songs he exhibited alarming signs of "memory-loss and butterfingers".[57] At some other performance in San Francisco that calendar month, the audience began shouting out lyrics when Smith could non recollect them.[58]

In the first of only iii concerts performed in 2002, Smith co-headlined Northwestern University's A&O Ball with Wilco on May 2 in Chicago.[59] He was onstage for most an hour simply failed to complete half of the songs.[13] [sixty] He claimed that his poor functioning was due to his left hand having fallen comatose and told the audience it felt "similar having stuff on your hand and you lot tin can't get it off".[13] Smith's operation was reviewed as "undoubtedly i of the worst performances always by a musician"[61] and an "excruciating […] nightmare".[62] A reporter for the online mag Glorious Noise wrote, "Information technology would not surprise me at all if Elliott Smith ends up dead within a yr."[63]

On Nov 25, 2002, Smith was involved in a brawl with the Los Angeles Police Department at a concert where The Flaming Lips and Brook were performing.[64] Smith subsequently said he was defending a man he thought the police force were harassing.[ commendation needed ] The officers allegedly beat and arrested him and girlfriend Jennifer Chiba. The two spent the nighttime in jail. Smith's back was injured in the incident, causing him to cancel a number of shows.[25] Wayne Coyne, atomic number 82 singer of The Flaming Lips and a friend of Smith'due south, stated business concern over Smith'south appearance and actions, proverb that he "saw a guy who had lost control of himself. He was needy, he was grumpy, he was everything you wouldn't desire in a person. It's not like when yous think of Keith Richards beingness pleasantly blissed out in the corner."[65]

2003: Reemergence and From a Basement on the Hill [edit]

One of Smith's last performances in New York City at the Lit Lounge in Jan 2003. He played Knitting Factory & North Half-dozen in June 2003.

Smith had attempted to go to rehab several times, but institute that he was unable to relate to the popular treatments for people with substance use disorder that used a twelve-stride program basis for treatment. "I couldn't practice the start stride […] I couldn't say what you were supposed to say and mean it."[25] In 2002, Smith went to the Neurotransmitter Restoration Center in Beverly Hills to start a course of treatment for substance use disorder. In one of his concluding interviews, he spoke nigh the center, "What they exercise is an Four treatment where they put a needle in your arm, and you lot're on a drip bag, but the only thing that'due south in the drip bag is amino acids and saline solution. I was coming off of a lot of psych meds and other things. I was fifty-fifty on an antipsychotic, although I'one thousand not psychotic."[25]

2 sold-out solo acoustic concerts at Hollywood'southward Henry Fonda Theater, on January 31 and February 1, 2003, saw Smith attempting to reestablish his brownie as a live performer. Before the show, Smith scrawled "Kali – The Destroyer" (the Hindu goddess associated with time and change) in big block messages with permanent ink on his left arm, which was visible to the crowd during the performance.[66] [67] On several songs, he was backed by a stripped-downwards drum kit played by Robin Peringer (of the band 764-HERO), and members of opening band Rilo Kiley contributed backing vocals to one vocal. Well-nigh the end of the first show, the musician responded for several minutes afterwards a heckler (subsequently identified as Smith's ex-girlfriend Valerie Deerin) yelled "Get a backbone."[23] [68] Smith played two more Los Angeles concerts during 2003, including The Derby in May and the L.A. Weekly Music Awards in June.[69]

Afterward his 34th birthday on August 6, 2003, he gave up alcohol. Manager Mike Mills had been working with Smith during his concluding years and described Smith's troubles and apparent recovery: "I gave the script to him, then he dropped off the face of the earth […] he went through his whole crazy time, but by the time I was done with the movie, he was making From a Basement on the Hill and I was shocked that he was actually making music."[seventy]

With things improving for Smith after several troubled years, he began experimenting with racket music and worked on his girlfriend Jennifer Chiba'south iMac with the intent of learning how to record with computers, noting that information technology was the simply method with which he was still unfamiliar.[25] Smith jokingly labeled his experimental way of recording "The California Frown" (a play on the Beach Boys' "California Sound").[71] He said of the songs, "They're kind of more noisy with the pitch all distorted. Some are more audio-visual, only at that place aren't too many similar that. Lately I've just been making up a lot of noise."[25]

He was also in the procedure of recording songs for the Thumbsucker soundtrack, including Big Star's "Xiii" and Cat Stevens's "Problem".[70] In Baronial 2003, Suicide Squeeze Records put out a limited-edition vinyl single for "Pretty (Ugly Before)", a song that Smith had been playing since the Figure 8 bout.

Smith's terminal show was at Redfest at the University of Utah in Salt Lake Metropolis on September xix, 2003. The final song he played live was "Long, Long, Long" by The Beatles.

2004–present: Posthumous releases [edit]

Joanna Bolme helped bring From a Basement on the Hill to completion in the wake of Smith's expiry.

From a Basement on the Loma, almost four years in product, was released on Oct 19, 2004, by ANTI- Records (a part of Epitaph Records). With Smith's family unit in control of his estate, they chose to bring in Rob Schnapf and Smith's ex-girlfriend Joanna Bolme to sort through the recordings and mix the album. Although Smith had voiced his desire for information technology to be a double album or a regular anthology with a bonus disc, it was not clear whether it would accept been possible for him to release it that style had he completed it.[25] As completed by Schnapf and Bolme, it was released equally a 15-track single album. Many songs from the sessions (later leaked onto the Internet) were not included, such as "True Beloved", "Everything's OK", "Stickman", and "Suicide Machine" (a reworking of the Effigy eight-era unreleased instrumental "Tiny Time Motorcar").[54] There has been unconfirmed speculation that Smith's family fabricated the decision not to include some songs on the record due to their lyrical content, although songs such as "Rex'southward Crossing" that bargain with darker subjects did make the album.[54] [72]

Elliott Smith and the Large Nada, a biography by Benjamin Nugent, was rushed to publication shortly after From a Basement on the Hill, soon after the first ceremony of his death. Smith'south family, as well equally Joanna Bolme, Jennifer Chiba, Neil Gust, Sam Coomes, and Janet Weiss, all declined to be interviewed. Information technology contained interviews with Rob Schnapf, David McConnell, and Pete Krebs. The book received mixed reviews, with Publishers Weekly remarking that while "Nugent manages to patch together the major beats of Smith'southward life, he can offering picayune meaningful insight".

In 2005, a tribute album, A Tribute to Elliott Smith, was released. It featured diverse bands performing tributes to Smith.[73]

On May 8, 2007, a posthumous 2-disc compilation album entitled New Moon was released by Kill Rock Stars. The anthology contained 24 songs recorded past Smith between 1994 and 1997 during his tenure with the characterization, songs that were not included on albums, besides as a few early versions and previously released B-sides. In the U.s., the anthology debuted at number 24 on the Billboard 200, selling well-nigh 24,000 copies in its first calendar week.[74] The tape received favorable reviews[75] and was Metacritic's 15th best-reviewed album of 2007.[76] A portion of the proceeds from album sales were to go to Outside In, a social service agency for low-income adults and homeless youth in Portland, Oregon.[77]

On October 25, 2007, a book titled Elliott Smith was released by Autumn de Wilde,[78] which consists of photographs, handwritten lyrics, and "revealing talks with Smith'south inner circle".[79] De Wilde was responsible for the Figure eight sleeve art, making a landmark and de facto Smith memorial of the Solutions Sound mural.
