Elliot Smith - “XO” Deluxe IVC Limited Edition Brown Vinyl LP Preorder
ELLIOTT SMITH - “XO (DELUXE)” IVC EDITION
Elliott Smith had already established himself as an indie-rock poet laureate, Oscar nominee and reluctant rock star with his group Heatmiser and three critically acclaimed solo albums. But with XO, his major label debut, he was able to fully translate his rapidly expanding musical vision to wax. As Rolling Stone noted in their laudatory review, XO “features [Smith’s] most adventurous music ever, opening up his acoustic flow with piano, horns, vocal overdubs, even a string section.”
On XO, Smith shows both his love of McCartney and Lennon, blending perfectly crafted pop songwriting with brutally candid observations that rarely suffered fools. “You can hear it all,” Rolling Stone wrote upon the album’s release. "The graceful folk he’s perfected, elaborate orchestrations, an a cappella song, piano ballads, years of anger released in lilting harmony and a newfound hopefulness couched in energized pop tunes.” This is the first vinyl pressing of XO [Deluxe Edition] with 9 bonus tracks including “How To Take A Fall,” “The Enemy Is You,” and “Miss Misery.” It features a 2LP gatefold jacket with deluxe edition cover art, 180G opaque brown vinyl, and a limited edition lithograph of Elliott Smith. It is individually numbered
