“Half Right” is a solo acoustic version of the Heatmiser song. But any of these songs could surprise us, and I hope they do.Įdit, 4/23: Having heard the album now, here’s what the mystery tracks are: “Miss Misery (early version)” is likely the leaked solo piano demo. “Go By” is probably the instrumental version from the Either/Or sessions, but he performed it once with words - we can hope! I believe he recorded “Thirteen” twice - this is probably the Lucky 3 soundtrack version and not the more recent Thumbsucker soundtrack recording. $ – Songs we don’t know about for sure: “Half Right” is a Heatmiser song, but I don’t think any of his bootlegs include a recording of it. = – From the Jackpot ( XO) sessions bootleg * – From the Basement II – From the second wave of “Basement” leaks # – Previously released: “Angel in the Snow,” “Big Decision” and “See You Later” (an acoustic version of one of Smith’s Heatmiser songs) were all b-sides Looking Over My Shoulder * (previously called “Sticks and Stones”) Here’s a handy track list that sort of lays out the songs a little more clearly. Most of the songs we’ve heard already in the form of the Basement II bootleg, so the real prize is going to be the new tune - “All Cleaned Out.” There are some other rarities: “First Timer,” which was later reworked as “From a Poison Well,” which leaked fairly recently, and hopefully a version of “Go By” with vocals but probably not.īut let’s make this easier.

So you can imagine how totally, ridiculously excited I am about the upcoming early/unreleased compilation, New Moon, which spans the Kill Rock Stars years: 1994-1997. From his musicianship and recording mastery to his singular songwriting and harrowing performances, he’s as good as it gets he’s been my favorite musician for seven years now and I doubt that’ll ever change. Not like it should be any surprise if you’re a regular reader, but I think Elliott Smith is the finest artist of his generation.
