A Fond Farewell:Tribute to Elliott Smith

A Fond Farewell:Tribute to Elliott Smith

featuring A Fond Farewell & Modevile

May 30th, 2026

A Fond Farewell:

A monument of raw intimacy and sensitivity, Elliott Smith leaves behind a body of work that is authentic, prolific and tragically underrated

A little-known giant of songwriting, this accomplished multi-instrumentalist and eternal perfectionist remained coherent in his artistic vision from his first albums to his final—posthumous—releases

Few mention him consistently, yet so many turn to his music when a deep communion with the intimate is called for

He is the perfect example of an artist through whom the intensity of existence and its overwhelming weight paradoxically allowed for so much beauty

Without the chance to take the usual seat and experience his presence firsthand, members of various projects from Montreal (Elliot Maginot, Cosmophone, ce qui nous traverse, marjolaine) invite you to revisit key pieces by this truly talented and genuine musician if ever there was one.

Monument de l’intime, hypersensible à qui le bonheur n’a su sourire bien longtemps, Elliott Smith nous laisse une œuvre authentique, prolifique et tragiquement sous-estimée

Géant méconnu du songwriting, ce multi-instrumentiste accompli et éternel insatisfait a maintenu constante et cohérente sa proposition, du premier aux derniers albums - posthumes

Peu en parlent au quotidien, mais tant le retrouvent finalement dans les passages de la vie où une communion avec l’intime s’impose

Il est l’exemple parfait de l’artiste pour qui l’intensité de l'existence et sa charge excessive ont paradoxalement permis tant de beauté. À défaut d’occuper le siège habituel et de pouvoir vibrer en sa présence même, des membres de divers projets (dont Elliot Maginot, Cosmophone, ce qui nous traverse, marjolaine) vous proposent de revisiter des pièces phares de ce musicien vrai et talentueux s’il en est un

Modevile is a shoegaze trio based in Hull, made up of Maude, Colleen, and Simon

Maude’s ethereal and raw voice blends like honey with Colleen’s solid, crystalline tone

Modevile is shoegaze, post‑rock, sometimes grunge, and heavy with emotion. (Acoustic)

Modevile est un groupe shoegaze de Hull composé de Maude, Colleen et Simon

La voix de Maude à la voix éthérée et crue vient se mélanger comme du miel à la voix solide et cristalline de Colleen

Modevile est shoegaze, indie, frise parfois le grunge et est lourd en émotions. (Formule duo intime)
