Decemberists to Head Elliott Smith Tribute

Coinciding with the two-year anniversary of Elliott Smith's untimely death, a fledgling label called Expunged Records will be publishing a tribute album this fall featuring covers of the songwriter's music. Each of the artists involved so far hail from Smith's hometown of Portland, Oregon; the tentative roster includes the Decemberists ("Clementine"), Dolorean ("The Biggest Lie"), Lifesavas ("Happiness"), and the Thermals ("Ballad of Big Nothing"). A previously unreleased Smith song entitled "High Times" will be performed by Singer/Songwriter Sean Croghan; acts who have yet to confirm a selection include Jeff Trott, Sexton Blake, The Society of People of Ambience and Elegance, Amelia, Crosstide and Telephone, and Swords (formerly the Swords Project).
