'Pavement regularly sounded like their songs were about to fall apart. With Silver Jews, it sometimes sounded like the performer was going to.'

Silver Jews - American Water album cover. A simplified drawing of a road (pink), some land (dark grey) and a horizon (lavender).
'The puzzle-like quality to Berman’s lyrics is another example of his quiet dedication to poetry. Sonically, this song is closer to the lo-fi Americana of the time than country.'

Silver Jews - The Natural Bridge album cover. Mostly abstract shapes in shades of green with a black border and the band's name in white in the top left-hand corner.
'To adequately convey the big, the only way is to go small. In this case, mortality and Southern existentialism told through the death of a pet.'

Colour photograph of David Berman, seated by a sign that reads 'Fans/Bobby's/Idle Hour', next to which stands a stylised cheap life size human figure with a guitar.
'Berman's lyrics are often melancholic, deceptively simple, funny and modest, with a sense of acute intelligence and curiosity that has somehow fallen in on itself under the weight of it all, left standing bemused and amused in the wreckage'

Silver Jews - Starlite Walker album cover. A photograph of a lake with trees around it. The vibe is sparse rather than lush, with the image mostly rendered in brownish hues.
'The Pavement is strong with this one. Advice To The Graduate is an example of the porous border between the two bands - Stephen Malkmus and Bob Nastanovich being at times members of both'

Such a simple, imperfect piece of songwriting that just lands. Cannot believe I only discovered David Berman and Silver Jews this year. What a talent he was. #SilverJews #DavidBerman

🎶 For Berman too/ I've met the myth hanging heavy over you/ I loved you long/ You rose to go/ Beneath you, songs, perfect angels in the snow

Just discovered the band, Silver Jews. Christ almighty! Some of the best lyrics I've heard from anyone. #DavidBerman had talent that matched only by the pain he endured throughout his life. A tortured genius with very few peers. #musicsky
