The Silver Jews

[rorschach]

They've just announced that their playing five dates in Ireland so I thought it appropiate to create a thread for them (Playing in Dundalk of all places). Their on a European tour so look out for them. Steve malkmus of Pavement is a sometime member and played on their greatest album American Water (A masterpiece). Their music is kinda Alt. Country and the lyrics have to be heard to be believed (Lead singer Dave Berman is also an accomplished poet). If ye like John Steinbeck or Bukowski you will simply love this band.

American Water is all I have heard. It is really fantastic. I have meant to find more for a while. Lyrically just amazing.
