Book-ended by its two singles, 'Speed Trials' and 'Ballad of Big Nothing', Either/Or did not chart in the US, but was acclaimed by critics.ĭirector Gus Van Sant was highly impressed with the album, incorporating three of its songs ' Between the Bars', 'Angeles' and ' Say Yes' along with a new song, ' Miss Misery', into the Good Will Hunting soundtrack. Either/Or was released on February 25, 1997, on the Kill Rock Stars record label, following Heatmiser's dissolution. Either/Or was recorded in several locations, mostly in Portland, Oregon – while Smith was still a member of Heatmiser – and was produced by Smith, Tom Rothrock and Rob Schnapf. The final chapter of his first period as a solo artist, Either/Or remains a cornerstone of folk/pop melancholia with aftershocks felt to this day.Either/Or is the third studio album by American singer-songwriter Elliott Smith. Through its dozen tracks, the album oscillates between harmony and dissonance, sentiment and cynicism, culminating in a record that is unmistakably and unabashedly “Elliott Smith”. With richer instrumentation and songs that push past the boundaries of his previous releases, Either/Or presents Smith at his most dichotomous. The highly acclaimed Either/Or, the third album from Elliott Smith and his last written and recorded in Portland, OR, broke through to a larger international audience.
