Elliott Smith’s Roman Candle 20th Anniversary
Elliott Smith’s acoustic guitar creaks and squeaks like an old residence on his debut, Roman Candle, released 20 years ago right now (July 14). Of the five albums Smith created more than the course of his nine-year solo profession, his debut was the most lo-fi, each in aesthetic and in approach. As JJ Gonson, his ex-girlfriend and his band Heatmiser’s former manager, explained in Pitckfork’s oral history of Smith’s career , Smith would spent hours writing the songs that’d develop into Roman Candle in the upstairs portion of the home they shared collectively on Taylor Street in Portland. When he was ready to record, he’d retreat to the basement, exactly where he was perched on a stool surrounded by garbage.” Needless to say, he recorded the songs that would grow to be Roman Candle quite immediately.
