Dreamworks

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.

Back In Stock

XO is the fourth studio album by singer-songwriter Elliott Smith. Co-produced by Bong Load Records owner Tom Rothrock, XO was recorded in 1997-1998 and released on August 25, 1998. On XO, Elliott Smith leaves the indie doldrums behind and takes wing to new, lush surroundings. By adding full instrumentation to his acoustic reveries, Smith has ascended to a new level of song-writing that shores up his gentle voice and country-tinged guitar playing with extra layers of vocal arrangements and charming piano vamps. Strains of classic rock filter into the Beatlesque Baby Britain and the Beach Boys-inspired I Didn't Understand - but Smith succeeds in adapting them to his style rather than the other way around. XO is a stunning shadow print of a soul adrift in the music industry, a dark place indeed.
