Vinylinmypineal A great album by the greatest songwriter to ever live.
To be able to write enough good songs to co-front a rock band, and a solo career in a totally different style is in the realm of the supernatural to us mere mortals.
He had the trifecta:
Poetic, thought provoking lyrics.
An incredibly intricate, and original of playing guitar.
And the most unique chord progressions and melodies which you could only dream to create.
All done within the span of a little over 10 years, like his idles 🐞

about

Roman Candle, the first studio release from Elliott Smith, is a record steeped in catharsis. Written, recorded, and performed by Smith alone, Roman Candle served as a functional retreat from Smith’s musical outings in his post-punk outfit Heatmiser, while simultaneously reintroducing him as a quieter, more intimate thoughtful songwriter. Despite not initially intending for its release, Roman Candle became Smith’s debut as a solo artist, providing the backdrop for his reputation as the mysterious folk introvert from the Northwest.

Reissued in 2010 by Kill Rock Stars, acclaimed engineer Larry Crane remastered Roman Candle while preserving Smith’s original mixes, achieving greater clarity while retaining the album’s signature sound.
