Unreleased Elliott Smith: “From A Basement On The Hill 2″
Friday marks the two-year anniversary of the death of legendary singer/song-writer Elliott Smith, and yesterday Gorilla vs. Bear brought to my attention 22 “new” previously-unreleased Elliott Smith tracks, currently being called From A Basement On The Hill II, to my attention. All 22 songs, many of which are thought to be from the original Basement sessions, are available for download here, courtesy of Elliott Smith B-Sides. MTV.com also has an article on the leaked tracks, which you can read here. Below you can download “Needle In The Hay”, my favorite Elliott Smith song, and “Miss Misery” the song that propelled him to fame on the Good Will Hunting sound track. Also, if you’re like me and like everything to have album art so it can be displayed beautifully on your iPod/iTunes, you can download/see the cover art that I took the liberty of creating for the album above (click image to enlarge). Feel free to leave opinions or thoughts on the cover art in the comments section, or check out the rest of my artwork here.
