New Moon is a posthumous compilation album by Elliott Smith, released on May 8, 2007. It contains twenty-four previously unreleased songs, most recorded between 1994 and 1997 during the sessions for Smith's albums Elliott Smith and Either/Or.
In August 2006, an "excited" employee at Kill Rock Stars made a post on the label's official website stating that an extended version of Either/Or would be released in 2006 to commemorate the record's tenth anniversary. This information was quickly pulled from the website, as the album was in very early planning stages. Eventually, Kill Rock Stars announced that Either/Or: Extended Edition (as it was to be called) had been scrapped in favor of a rarities and unreleased music compilation from Smith's time at the label.
Mixing for the album was done by Larry Crane, the archivist for Smith's estate. The album cover was created by Portland, Oregon artist Mike King, who has produced work for numerous other musicians.
