My Favourite Elliott Smith Song

Our guest for this bonus episode is the author Jamie Fisher. Jamie recently published an excellent new biography of Elliott Smith, Nobody Broke Your Heart. It is a comprehensive look at Elliott's life, his music and the legacy he leaves behind. It's currently out in the US, with publication in the UK set for September (and stay tuned for further updates for other markets). This interview is accompanied by some recent Elliott Smith covers we love. We play two from our recent Elliott Smith tribute show in London, as well as a cover from our friends Seadog and Bellza.

Joining us for the final episode of the season is Naima Bock. Naima is a London-based musician who started her career in the band Goat Girl. Since leaving them, she has pursued a successful solo career, releasing two studio albums - Giant Palm, which came out in 2022 and Below a Massive Dark Land, which came out in 2024.  Naima describes Elliott Smith's Either/Or album as foundational for her, so it was great to have the chance to chat.
