Product Review:

Elliott Smith's Division Day / No Name #6 marks the first reissue of these two tracks in over 20 years, and it's a welcome reminder of why Smith was such an influential figure in indie rock. Originally released on his 1994 album, Either/Or, this 7" single sees both tracks lovingly remastered by Tim Stedman at Golden Mastering.

Division Day is a stunning piece of acoustic-driven indie rock that showcases Smith's unique songwriting style and fragile vocal delivery. The track builds from its sparse beginnings to a cathartic climax that perfectly captures the emotion of the lyrics. On the flip side, No Name #6 is an intimate ballad with delicate fingerpicking and heartbreakingly honest lyrics that reflect on themes of love and loss.

This limited edition half & half vinyl pressing serves as a poignant reminder of Elliott Smith's incredible songwriting talent and why his music still resonates with listeners today. It's essential listening for any fan of classic indie rock or Elliott Smith himself.
