Elliott Smith: new album coming
October 21st will mark the third year since Elliott Smith's passing. Slated for March 15, 2007, Elliott Smith will, for the second time, posthumously release a new album on Kill Rock Stars. ** Smith had been working on From A Basement On A Hill since 2000 and left enough rough material behind to fill two albums. Though the evidence of his suicide is inconclusive, the pain and honesty of his life will live on with this new release.
** UPDATE: Elliott Smith: New Moon coming on May 7
