+ Elliott Smith “Division Day” 7” on Clear vinyl. First time on color vinyl. This variant is limited to 1000 copies.
Elliott Smith's "Division Day" is not only one of the late artist's most beloved fan favorite songs, it's also one of Smith's first departures away from the soft-spoken melancholy of his first two albums and into the more sophisticated pop that led to his breakout success. B-side "No Name #6" is a classic in its own right, encapsulating the humble brilliance of one of our generation's greatest singer-songwriters. "Division Day" b/w "No Name #6" is now back in print with its first pressing on colored vinyl. Limited to 1000 copies on clear vinyl, this 7" single is a crucial document of Elliott Smith's musical evolution, and a vital piece of Suicide Squeeze history.
+ Elliott Smith “Pretty (Ugly Before)” 7” on Opaque Yellow vinyl. First time on color vinyl. This variant is limited to 1000 copies.
"Pretty (Ugly Before)" b/w "A Distorted Reality Is Now A Necessity To Be Free" holds the distinction of being the last recording by Elliott Smith to be released while he was still alive. Originally released as a single in August 2003, the songs were a part of the recording sessions that would ultimately yield the acclaimed posthumous album From A Basement On The Hill. The two songs serve as a powerful reminder of why Smith became the voice for a dejected generation. Limited to 1000 copies on opaque yellow, this is the first time the 7" has been available on colored vinyl.
+ Elliott Smith / Pete Krebs 7” “Shytown b/w No Confidence Man” test pressing w/ full artwork
In 1994, Portland’s idiosyncratic punk pop group Hazel and hushed indie band Heatmiser were providing a less aggravated alternative to the big riffs and howling frontmen of their grunge peers in Seattle. Both bands had strong albums that helped highlight the diversity of Northwest’s rock scene, and both bands had guitarists that were dabbling in solo material. Heatmiser’s Elliott Smith had just released his critically acclaimed album Roman Candle, and Hazel’s Pete Krebs was preparing his debut for Cavity Search Records. It’s no surprise that the tiny burgeoning indie label Slo-Mo Records pounced on the opportunity to release a split 7” by these developing talents. Smith’s “No Confidence Man” is a classic example of his early, stripped-down heartbroken ballads while Krebs’ “Shytown” is a gorgeous acoustic number that deftly navigates between somber passages and the buoyant melodies he was known for in his work with Hazel. Long out of print, it’s Suicide Squeeze Records’ proud honor to repress the 7” as part of their 20-year anniversary celebratory series. “No Confidence Man” b/w “Shytown” is limited to 500 copies on opaque blue vinyl and 500 copies on opaque yellow. Additionally, the 7” features all new artwork by esteemed designer Jesse LeDoux and includes a download coupon. All profits from the record will be donated to Outside/In, a Portland non-profit that provides services for homeless youth.
Good Luck!
