Singer Songwriter

Elliott Smith was an American singer-songwriter known for his introspective and emotionally charged music. Born in Omaha, Nebraska, Smith began his musical career as a member of the indie rock band Heatmiser before pursuing a solo career. His delicate vocals and intricate guitar work captivated audiences, earning him critical acclaim and a devoted fan base. With albums like "Either/Or" and "XO," Smith showcased his talent for crafting poignant lyrics that explored themes of love, loss, and addiction. Tragically, Smith's life was cut short in 2003 at the age of 34, but his legacy lives on through his timeless music.
Throughout his career, Elliott Smith garnered praise for his ability to convey raw emotion through his songs. His intimate performances drew listeners in with their vulnerability and honesty. Whether he was singing about heartbreak or inner turmoil, Smith's music resonated with fans who found solace in his poetic lyrics.
In addition to being a talented musician, Elliott Smith was also recognized for his contributions to film soundtracks. He received an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song in 1998 for "Miss Misery," which appeared on the soundtrack of the film "Good Will Hunting." This recognition further solidified Smith's status as a respected artist within the industry.

Kill Rock Stars is an indie label co-founded by Tinúviel and Slim Moon in Olympia, Washington. Originally intended as an outlet for Slim Moon's spoken word records, the label quickly expanded into the vibrant music scene of the region. With a focus on promoting female artists, Kill Rock Stars gained recognition as one of the few U.S. indie labels with an all-female full-time staff after Slim Moon's departure in 2006.

Over the years, Kill Rock Stars has been home to legendary Riot Grrl/Indie/Punk Rock acts such as The Gossip, Unwound, Bikini Kill, Witchypoo, and Sleater-Kinney. Their catalog includes a diverse range of releases that have made a significant impact on alternative music.

A double album of music by Elliott Smith entitled New Moon. The album contains 24 songs recorded 1994-1997, a prolific time in Smith's career, when he recorded his self-titled album and Either / Or (both originally released by Kill Rock Stars). Arguably the most gifted song-writer of his generation, Elliott Smith produced a large body of work that includes five solo albums, as well as From a Basement on the Hill (2004), a collection of songs completed before his death in 2003. Like his other work, New Moon reflects the power of Smith's ability to integrate rich, melodic music with poetic, multi-layered lyrics.
