Elliott Smith – Either/Or – Review June 1, 1997 Sparse arrangements with an overt focus on the heady, airily-sung lyrics which span topics ranging from disdain and disinterest.
Elliott Smith – “Speed Trials” – Review February 1, 1997 Like Lou Barlow riding on a particularly moody wavelength with only an acoustic guitar and whispering drums. Simultaneously depressing and celebratory.
