Elliott Smith - Figure 8 - Red Black White Vinyl - LP

Elliott Smith’s journey is one marked by the delicate interplay of triumph and struggle, a narrative of passion expressed through haunting melodies and introspective lyrics that laid the foundation for a life steeped in creative brilliance. Born with an innate ability to capture the nuances of emotion in his music, Elliott not only refined his craft through personal battles and artistic evolution but also transformed his inner turmoil into lyrical poetry that continues to resonate with listeners today. His music—infused with folk sensibilities and indie rock undertones—became a sanctuary for those seeking solace and connection, establishing him as an enduring icon in alternative music.

Now, 25 years after its original release on April 18, 2000, Figure 8 is celebrated in a breathtaking Deluxe Edition 3LP set. Pressed on tri-color opaque red, black, and white “Figure 8 Mural” vinyl, this limited edition of only 3,000 copies globally is a tribute to one of Elliott Smith’s most sonically ambitious and emotionally rich albums.
