Heatmiser (aka Elliott Smith's pre-solo career rock band) is set to release a deluxe edition of their third album in a two LP set that includes rarities and unreleased tracks. The first song we can hear from the remastered Mic City Sons is "Silent Treatment," and if you know and love Heatmiser, hearing a new-to-us song from the indie rock legends is a special treat. This one is a Neil Gust song, and just screams 1996 (the year it was originally released). We tend to love everything mid-90's, but this one is particularly special, for obvious reasons. It captures a band on the brink of ending, as Smith's solo career was just about to take off.
Neil Gust says of the band's "new" song:
“This one is about Elliot and me not talking, and him giving me the silent treatment. I didn't know what else to sing about.”
You can listen to "Silent Treatment" below. Mic City Sons - 30th Anniversary Remaster is due out July 25 on Third Man Records, and is available for pre-order here.
