Elliott Smith |
New Moon, which came out May 8, 2007, was the first KRS release to chart #1 on the Billboard Charts (Indie), their highest debut on Billboard's Top 200 (coming in at #24), and the longest running KRS release on the Top 200 (six weeks).
The double 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 also 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.
