Album Notes & Community Reviews
Released posthumously, Elliott Smith's final album is a noisy, psychedelic departure from his acoustic work. 'From a Basement on the Hill' captures a darker, drug-fueled period in his life. Despite being unfinished, it contains some of his most powerful and painful songs.
