  • From a Basement on the Hill is the sixth studio album by the late singer-songwriter Elliott Smith. Released posthumously on October 19, 2004 by ANTI- Records in CD, double LP, and digital download, it peaked at #19 in the US and #41 in the UK. The album was incomplete at the time of Smith's death. Smith's family hired his former producer Rob Schnapf and ex-girlfriend Joanna Bolme to sort through and put the finishing touches on the batch of over 30 songs that were recorded for the album. Although Smith had stated many times that he wanted Basement to be a double CD album, contractual obligations with the singer's former label DreamWorks prevented them from releasing a double album on an independent label. Thus, a 15 track album was assembled and released. Many of the songs Smith intended for the album remained unfinished, in many cases lacking vocals.
  • From a Basement on the Hill est le dernier album de l'auteur-compositeur-interprète Elliott Smith, sorti en 2004, sur le label Anti. Il est sorti après sa mort et n'a pas été arrangé dans sa totalité par Elliott Smith. Les morceaux alternent d'ailleurs entre arrangements minimaux, à la manière des premiers albums d'Elliott Smith, et des morceaux au son plus lourd. Malgré cela, il reste très fidèle au son si particulier de l'artiste, et les textes sont parfois d'une grande tristesse et mélancolie, parlant même parfois du suicide. Les quinze morceaux présents sur cet album ont été choisis parmi une trentaine d'ébauches laissées par Smith qui aurait à la base aimé sortir un double album, comme le White Album des Beatles, chose qui n'a pas été faite.
  • From a Basement on the Hill è l'ultimo album di Elliott Smith, pubblicato postumo il 19 ottobre 2004. Originalmente pensato come album doppio, uscì come singolo perché la morte del cantante non permise di realizzare le incisioni necessarie.
  • From a Basement on the Hill er det sjette albumet til den amerikanske singer-songwriteren Elliott Smith, og ble utgitt etter artistens død med hjelp av familie og venner. Etter hans ene album på Dreamworks, valgte han å ta et sabattsår på et indieplateselskap, ANTI-. Året etter hans død kom det sagnomsuste albumet, hvis arbeidsprosess stadig ble avbrutt av depresjoner og narkotikamisbruk. Mange av sangene var kjent blant fans via konserter og bar tråder langt tilbake i Elliott Smiths karriere. På denne plata har Smith utforsket støyelementer i musikken, samtidig som den gode melodien han var kjent for er framtredende. På mange måter er den en logisk fortsettelse av hans utforsking av arrangementer som går fra fire-sporsopptak på Roman Candle til tjukke lydvegger på Figure 8. Tematisk er det fremdeles introspektivt, gjerne i de mørke hjørnene av livet, sammen med en positiv grunnholdning som skinner gjennom tristessen. Det er blitt sagt at mange av de mer avslørende sangene om hans privatliv bevisst er blitt tatt bort, siden de fleste av disse handlet om et trøblete forhold til hans familie, som nå satt med rettighetene. Mange av sangene skraper likevel langt under overflaten, og er både innom selvmordstanker, hans minner fra et kortvarig opphold på en avrusningsklinikk og sitt eget dårlige selvbilde.
