The latest volume of former Elliott Smith classmate Kevin Moyer’s new benefit compilation, Live From Nowhere Near You, features a slew of previously unreleased tracks from the likes of Wilco, Bright Eyes, and others. For Elliott Smith’s posthumous contribution, Moyer not only got the blessing of his family, but he also worked closely with Smith’s former producer and official archivist, Larry Crane, to unearth a mysterious track they’ve dubbed “Untitled (Mailman Thinks Me Dumb),” a song co-written by Elliott’s A Murder of Crows bandmate Garrick Duckler (originally titled “The Real Estate”) that is believed to have been re-recorded circa the Either/Or era. Pre-order the collection, which benefits homelessness charity Outside In, and preview the latter recording — put to tape and performed entirely by Smith — over at Pitchfork.
