Additionally, he used a Shure SM57 and an inexpensive RadioShack dynamic microphone to capture the sound. The album has a raw, homemade sound, with Smith playing each instrument and recording it on his four-track recorder. Smith at first hesitated, and then allowed permission. The album was never intended for release, as Smith only expected to get a deal for a 7" single however, after Gonson played the album for Cavity Search, they immediately requested permission to release it in its entirety.
According to Benjamin Nugent's biography Elliott Smith and the Big Nothing, Smith recorded the album in the basement of the home of then-girlfriend and Heatmiser manager JJ Gonson. Roman Candle was recorded and released while Smith was still in Heatmiser. It was recorded in late 1993 and released on Jby record label Cavity Search.
Roman Candle is the debut studio album by American singer-songwriter Elliott Smith.
