"Almost Over" is a brilliant example of his unique guitar work, just listen to it, it'll bowl you over! Throughout all the songs there are his classic double vocals and additional echoes. The only song that Larry Crane combined different takes was "New Disaster", including a vocal take from one reel and the instrumental take from a later reel with organ and drums that he thought was meant to be put together, but Elliott just never got around to it. There's also a different version of Heatmiser's "Half Right" on there without drums. It has a haunting melody, like how "Independence Day" and "Condor Ave." feels. No instrumentation is added here, except faint background drums and it has different lyrics and a different melody. It is a totally different song than the one we know on Figure 8. The song I keep going back to is "Pretty Mary K (Other Version)" on disc two, track nine. It's hard to get through sometimes, his voice shakes and slides off tune on occasion and reminds me of the feeling that people tried to describe when they were at some of his live performances. The Big Star/ Alex Chilton cover of "Thirteen" is an earlier recording than the one on the Thumbsucker's soundtrack. The three songs "Angel In The Snow", "See You Later" and "Big Decision" have been officially released, but only on compilations. The early version of "Miss Misery" has a set of different lyrics and "Go By" now has lyrics, whereas the leaked version was an instrumental version. "All Cleaned Out" is a hard acoustic-driven song that is just heart-wrenching, I've rarely heard his voice so hardened, unlike his usual whispery style: " Here comes your pride and joy/the comic little drunk/you call your boy/making everybody smile/who takes your pretty plan/and then becomes a disappearing man/after a little while." Both songs and an early version of what would become "Miss Misery" were from the Jackpot! recording sessions in 1997. Out of the 24 tracks on New Moon are two completely new, unreleased songs:, "All Cleaned Out" and "First Timer". A portion of the proceeds will go towards Outside In, a social service organization based in Portland, OR that helps low-income adults and homeless youths. Also in the album sleeve are filled with words depicting fond memories of Elliott and his music from Larry Crane, Sam Coomes, Christopher O'Riley and Sean Croghan. The album is a digipak, with extensive liner notes that include details on where and when each song was recorded. I was really just balancing the mix and adding very simple, light EQ or compression to some tracks. " Most of the ones that were tracked on the 8-track 1/2" machine were pretty well done, the same as tracks from Elliott Smith or Either/Or. Here is a clip from a Glono interview with Larry Crane on the studio work: The songs were left mostly untouched except for some additional light EQ and compression. The songs on New Moon sound just like what Elliott Smith would have done in the studio, in line with his usual no fuss, lo-fi recording style.

Larry Crane, Elliott Smith's friend, editor of Tape-Op magazine and owner of Jackpot! Recording Studio became the official archivist of the many recordings Elliott Smith left behind and is the one to thank for giving the rest of the world such a beautiful collection.Įach disc has 12 songs and includes many of the songs that were leaked online a year ago, referred by many though incorrectly(considering the songs were recorded much earlier than From A Basement On The Hill) as Basement II. These recordings could have ended up in any of his three albums he released during this time period: Roman Candle, his self-titled album or Either/Or. That was during the time when he was still in Heatmiser, but started gaining more attention for his solo work, back when he was still signed on Kill Rock Stars. The double-disc album named New Moon will release this Tuesday and is a collection of the late Elliott Smith's songs from 1994~1997. It's so good to hear your voice again, Elliott.
