Indie folk/rock band from New York City, formed in 1989 by David Berman, with Stephen Malkmus and Bob Nastanovich. Berman remained throughout and was the only constant member. Disbanded in 2009, Berman wanting to move over to "screenwriting or muckraking".
Silver Jews was an indie folk/rock band hailing from New York City. The group was founded in 1989 by David Berman alongside Stephen Malkmus and Bob Nastanovich from Pavement. While other members came and went, Berman remained a consistent presence until their disbandment in 2009. Afterward, he expressed his desire to explore screenwriting or muckraking.
With roots firmly planted in the indie music scene of the late '80s, Silver Jews garnered a dedicated following for their unique blend of folk and rock influences. Led by the talented David Berman, the band's lineup may have changed over time but their distinct sound remained intact throughout their career. Their decision to disband allowed Berman to pursue new creative ventures beyond music.

Back In Stock

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 consistant than even the Jews 1998 near-masterpiece American Water. Throwing some 80s synth into the mix and bringing back Stephen Malkmus, Tanglewood Numbers kicks off on a superb note with Punks in the Beerlight and the classic Berman line, "where's the paper bag that holds the liquor/just in case i feel the need to puke" - only to be followed by another: "where does an animal sleep/when the ground is wet'5332'" on Sometimes a Pony gets Depressed. It also seems Berman found his singing partner and married her. Cassie Marrett, who laid her velvet voice over 2002's Bright Flight, now appears as Cassie Berman and delivers a more confident counter to Berman's ultra-droll delivery on Animal Shapes and How Can i Love You (if you Won't lie Down) among others.
