Music: Rock/Pop Silver Jews w/ the Mattoid

  • Sj_large

David Berman's Silver Jews were once dismissed as a Pavement side project. But really, Stephen Malkmus and Bob Nastanovich's presence in the band's early incarnations were largely inconsequential: even without them, there was no denying Berman's transcendent mix of lyrical beauty (Berman's a well-published poet) and deadpan delivery. Whether tapping the sounds of Nashville or New York, Berman is the master of the perfect indie-folk weeper. He's recently been sharing the mic with his wife, Cassie, and it's a welcome switch-up, bringing warmth to the Jews' irreverent, poignant rock 'n roll.
