It was also Smith's highest-charting release, and its uneasy, searching atmosphere is part of what gives the record its staying power: this is music that widens his palette without losing the closeness of his voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album stands out in Smith's catalogue for the way it brings an edgier, more guitar-driven sound into conversation with the melodic finesse he had long carried from 1960s psych-pop and classic songcraft. Tracks like \"Coast to Coast,\" \"A Fond Farewell,\" and \"King's Crossing\" show that tension clearly, with swampy guitar lines, hazy vocals, and arrangements that feel denser and more volatile than much of his earlier work. Even with that expanded texture, the songs keep the empathy and emotional precision that made Smith such a singular writer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 20th anniversary edition makes that history newly tangible on vinyl. Kill Rock Stars has reissued the album with brand-new high-resolution transfers from the original 1\/4\" tape mixes by Rob Schnapf and Joanna Bolme, remastered by archivist Larry Crane and Adam Gonsalves at Telegraph Mastering. For a record shaped by unfinished sessions and careful posthumous assembly, that attention to source and presentation feels especially worthwhile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2xLP, 33RPM, Stereo, Black Vinyl, 20th Anniversary Edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand-new high-resolution transfers from the original 1\/4\" tape mixes by Rob Schnapf and Joanna Bolme\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemastered by Larry Crane and Adam Gonsalves at Telegraph Mastering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeluxe mirrorboard gatefold jacket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReviews\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cq\u003ea fond farewell to a singer\/songwriter who many indie rockers of the '90s considered a friend.\u003c\/q\u003e - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.allmusic.com\/album\/from-a-basement-on-the-hill-mw0000169224\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eAllMusic.com\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n    \n\n    \n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Release tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n          \n          \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003e LP\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnits: \u003c\/strong\u003e 2\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pop-rock-vinyl-records\"\u003ePop \u0026amp; Rock\u003c\/a\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Tracklist tab content --\u003e\n  \n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSide A\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCoast to Coast\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eLet's Get Lost\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePretty (Ugly Before)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSide B\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDon't Go Down\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eStrung Out Again\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eFond Farewell\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eKing's Crossing\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSide C\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOstrich \u0026amp; Chirping\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eTwilight\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eA Passing Feeling\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eLast Hour\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSide D\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShooting Star\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eMemory Lane\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eLittle One\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eA Distorted Reality is Now a Necessity to be Free\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Dutch Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44500069417025,"sku":"6848480","price":78.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1474\/5258\/files\/AKRS_708__190535__09102024103751-1546.jpg?v=1788165021","url":"https:\/\/www.dutchvinyl.com.au\/products\/elliott-smith-from-a-basement-on-the-hill-2xlp-20th-anniversary-edition-382099","provider":"Dutch Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
