Description
You can hear the breath and the room air before the first line of No Name #1, and it tells you everything about Roman Candle. Elliott Smith’s debut is stark, four-track home recording turned into quietly gripping songwriting. A little acoustic grit creeps into the strums, while Condor Ave unspools a sad little narrative with almost no fuss. Then Kiwi Maddog 20/20 kicks the grit up and hints at the bite he’d show later.
This LP pressing gives the songs more space and the picked-guitar transients snap cleanly. Vocals feel closer, and you catch the doubled whispers as if you’re in the corner of a small Melbourne share house. File it next to Nick Drake and the better corners of 90s lo-fi, where intimacy matters more than polish.
If you’d rather order online, you can buy Elliott Smith records online with us. Spin it after dark and it feels like a private show in the next room. Even in its rough edges, the songs are sharply written and quietly bold. For longtime fans, it’s a reminder of where the craft began; for newcomers, a doorway that’s easier to love than you might expect.
Shop online or dig for it in our Preston store while stock lasts.
