Even as an unapologetic anti-metallite, I still can't escape the call of this band's silvery gleam. Still pleasant, still clever, still all the good-great pop action David Berman and Stephen Malkmus can dream up o'er the course of an album's time. Twelve chuckle-along songs hitting red on your geekest hip-o-meter.
"American Water" is a critically acclaimed album by the indie rock band Silver Jews, released in 1998 and now available on CD. The record stands out for its poetic lyrics, wry humor, and unique blend of country-infused indie rock. Fronted by David Berman, Silver Jews became cult favorites thanks to their introspective songwriting and distinctive soundscapes. "American Water," often considered their masterpiece, features standout tracks like "Random Rules" and "Smith & Jones Forever." Drag City, the label behind this release, is renowned for supporting innovative artists across genres since 1990. Their commitment to artistic integrity has made them a cornerstone of independent music.
