Elliott Smith - Pretty (Ugly Before) [7" - Opaque Red]

Release Date: March 6, 2026
Label: Suicide Squeeze

"'Pretty (Ugly Before)' b/w 'A Distorted Reality Is Now A Necessity To Be Free' holds the distinction of being the last recording by Elliott Smith to be released while he was still alive. Originally released as a single in August 2003, the songs were a part of the recording sessions that would ultimately yield the acclaimed posthumous album From A Basement On The Hill. The two songs serve as a powerful reminder of why Smith became the voice for a dejected generation." - Suicide Squeeze
