Elliott Smith produced a large body of work that includes five solo albums, as well as From a Basement on the Hill, a collection of songs completed before his death in 2003. This 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. Like his other work, New Moon reflects the power of Smith's ability to integrate rich, melodic music with poetic, multi-layered lyrics. Only three songs have seen prior release – all on compilations.
