Silver Jews - Early Times

NEW VINYL LP ON DRAG CITY 2019

180 GRAM VINYL.

Early Times, which collects the Silver Jews' first recordings, traces the beginnings of David Berman's shambling poetics (or is it poetic shambles?). The fidelity might have gotten higher and the twang more pronounced over the years, but the music was always about Berman's ability to be wry, profound, poignant, and playful all at the same time, and the interplay between him and whatever group of friends was backing him at the moment.
