David Berman's Silver Jews were once dismissed as a Pavement side project. But really, Stephen Malkmus and Bob Nostanovich'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 (he's both studied and taught creative writing) 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.
