Elliott Smith Either/or (Limited Red Vinyl)

Elliott Smith – Either/Or (Limited Edition Red Vinyl)

Either/Or arrived in early 1997, its title taken from a Søren Kierkegaard book of the same name. The album's expanded instrumentation included several songs with full-band arrangements and even keyboards — yet the results were still deeply intimate, marked by Smith's whispery, often despondent delivery and lyrics, even among a few livelier, uptempo tracks. Mixed by Smith and Heatmiser producers Tom Rothrock and Rob Schnapf, it remains one of the most quietly devastating records of its era.
