Tanglewood Numbers

by Silver Jews

supported by
The Itzamna Collective
The Itzamna Collective thumbnail
The Itzamna Collective TN feels like David coming back to a new life from the "presidential suite" with a wry glint of happiness & writing chops that hit a raw vein to put him amongst the best in Nashville.

Catchy lines, dry humour & daydreaming still shine. The whole story painfully encrypted: "..if you knew what it took to get here...."

There Is A Place is one of his most powerful songs, it kills me every time. I hold that song deep to my heart forever.
"I took a hammer to it all, like some insane medieval king"

thepirc David Berman justifiably gets a lot of credit for his poetry on these tracks but don't let that overshadow the wonderful, jangly performances throughout the record. It's hard to pick a favorite song on the album. Each time I come back to it, a new one emerges. Right now it's "I'm Getting Back Into Getting Back Into You"

about

Silver Jews Nashville, Tennessee

Formed in 1989 in Hoboken NJ during jam sessions between David Berman, Stephen Malkmus and Bob Nastanovich, the Joos released six acclaimed albums through 2008, when Berman, the sole constant member of the band, retired. Revered largely for his exquisite songs and lyrics and his singular imagination, Silver Jews continue to grow in the ears of new listeners with every passing year. ... more
