Our Take

Elliot Smith's latest album, Xo, is a mesmerising blend of heart-wrenching lyrics and haunting melodies that will have you reaching for the tissues and the repeat button simultaneously. The album kicks off with the melancholic anthem, "Sweet Adeline," setting the tone for the emotional rollercoaster that is to come.

Smith's delicate vocals are the perfect vehicle for his introspective lyrics, which delve deep into themes of love, loss, and existential dread. Tracks like "Tomorrow Tomorrow" and "Waltz #2" showcase his ability to craft catchy hooks that will stay with you long after the record has ended.

The production on Xo is sparse yet powerful, with Smith's intricate guitar work taking centre stage. The raw, unpolished sound adds an intimate quality to the album, making it feel like you're listening to a private performance in Smith's living room.

Overall, Xo is a masterclass in indie folk songwriting, and a testament to Smith's undeniable talent as a musician. This is an album that will make you laugh, cry, and everything in between. So grab your headphones, sit back, and let Elliot Smith take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget.
