Description:
ELLIOTT SMITH's final album, capturing his brilliant musical craft at the height of its powers.

The release of this album coincides with the first anniversary of Elliott Smith's death and was the last recording he made before his tragic and untimely passing.

'From A Basement On The Hill' retains something of the grand sound of his acclaimed 'Figure 8' and 'XO' records, and combines it with the intimacy so integral to the breakthrough 'Either/Or' and his first two albums.

At times simply stunning in its scope and tightly wound melodic dexterity, 'From A Basement On The Hill' has all the power and poise Smith has become known for.

Elliott Smith rose from indie obscurity to mainstream success in 1997 on the strength of "Miss Misery" his ACADEMY AWARD-nominated song from the film 'Good Will Hunting'.

"A lushly beautiful work" - OBSERVER MUSIC MONTHLY
