Our Story:

I remember the first time I met Elliot Smith - it was at a party in Portland, OR. He was telling me about a new band he was starting called "Heatmiser". I remember him being shy, yet incredibly warm and funny. Afterward, every time I read an article about him or heard people speak of him, it colored him as a sad recluse, much like his music implied.
Elliot Smith’s fragile, character-driven songs feature desperate people harboring sad illusions, substance addictions and aching longings; his lyrics seem to act as a sort of confessional for the troubles of friends and strangers. He sang as if he were in a constant state of feeling lost, which resonates with anyone who feels they lack a home. And that was the genius of Elliot Smith – he always enveloped you and made you feel with him and never for him. Writing music that makes people truly ache is a rare talent, as it means you have given your soul to your art. I’ve never felt that assessment to be more accurate than when applied to Elliot Smith, a songwriter who was all soul, who was always searching, and who has hopefully found at last that elusive feeling of going home. The String Quartet Tribute to Elliot Smith from Vitamin Records fully embraces that sentiment as well with this suitably beautiful homage.
