Elliott Smith: 13

New Moon is a post-humously released album, containing previously unreleased tracks and a compilation of B-sides. Elliott Smith was an American singer-songwriter from Nebraska, whose voice is comparable to the thinness of spider-webs, being delicate and thin, yet strong as steel.

He suffered (debatable choice of words) from depression and the bulk of his writing is based around the topic. It would appear that his death was self-inflicted, as he received two stab-wounds to the chest after an argument with his girlfriend, self-inflicted. Near him was a post-it note which read, "I'm so sorry---love, Elliott. God forgive me."
