“If you believe the Elliott Smith legend, there are hundreds of unreleased songs and outtakes recorded by the late singer-songwriter collecting cobwebs somewhere. “Grand Mal”— quite possibly recorded during the sessions for XO (which had the working title of Grand Mal)— was one of those hidden tracks.

Thanks to a generous member of Smith fansite Sweet Adeline’s message board community who goes by “cregitarian”, the quick-fingered acoustic track is currently bouncing around the web. Check out the stream below or download it at the Sweet Adeline boards; it’s definitely Elliott.” (via Pitchfork)
