Silver Jews

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

A beautiful mess of indie rock, country-rock and lo-fi with lyrics both witty and profound, the Silver Jews were formed in 1989 by writer/musician David Berman with his friends, guitarist/singer Stephen Malkmus and drummer Bob Nastanovich. The trio performed together as Ectoslavia when they studied at the University of Virginia; after graduation, they moved to New York and shared an apartment. Dubbing themselves the Silver Jews -- after the Silver Apples, the Silver Beatles, and slang for blonde-haired Jewish people -- they played noisy, often imp...[more]

 

 

Brand new material from Silver Jews, Tanglewood Numbers is their first album in 4 years. Oh Yeah did we mention Malkmus is back? "The Silver Jews sound bigger. Not just because Tanglewood Numbers incorporates some Nashvillian arrangements, or because Dave Berman actually attempts a vocal range, but rather because this latest album is something fuller and more consistent than even the Jews' 1998 near-masterpiece American Water.

VINYL FORMAT. David Berman and Stephen Malkmus, the principal Silver Jews, met at the University of Virginia in the late '80s, around the same time Malkmus was flying home to California on vacations and starting Pavement. The Silver Jews' first two EPs shared Pavement's noise-straddled, lo-fi aesthetic; on them, the Jews sounded like a scaled-back, literary Pavement. (Pavement, in turn, took on the Silver Jews' sense of lyrical exploration, and has continued traveling down that road deep into its career.) S   [ read more ]

In 2006, after five albums and fifteen years, David Berman finally decided to take The Silver Jews out on the road. The band toured across America and Europe, all the way to Israel, playing their first forty shows to a widespread outpouring of joy. Silver Jew is a simple document of one of those stops, whereupon the band played two shows in Tel Aviv, and spent a profound afternoon in Jerusalem.

VINYL FORMAT. "On the Jews' latest releases, Bright Flight, [frontman David Berman continues to captivate. Berman's palette is a world in which George Washington shares a stage with the University of Tennessee Volunteers, the Royal Trux, tanning beds and a waterslide in Chattanooga. When he sings of a sky "low and gray like a Japanese table" and "icicles dripping/like the whole house is weeping," he connects the dots of the painting with a talent usually reserved for classical sculptors and software    [ read more ]
