Elliott Smith Documentary Unearths New Unreleased Songs — rollingstone.com

A new documentary about Elliott Smith will feature more than a dozen previously unreleased songs by the late singer-songwriter. NME reports that more than half of the songs used in Heaven Adores You were dug out of record label vaults just for the film. The documentary's director, Nickolas Rossi, worked with people close to Smith, including his high school friend Kevin Moyer, who put together the benefit album Live From Nowhere Near You. "I'm one of the few people who have been able to look into both the Universal and Kill Rock Star vaults," Moyer said. "Elliott's masters are split between two labels. It was fun to be able to get in there and listen to songs and try to get some of that music that had never been heard out there and into the fans' ears."
