Silver Jews American Water: 20th Anniversary

20th Anniversary Reissue Half-Speed Mastered At Abbey Road

Ahhh, the 90s - Clinton, Jordan, Berman - the days of Twin Peaks and Surge soda, of flannel shirts and irony somehow look quite comforting in the rearview mirror! Yep, the ‘90s gave birth to the legendary Silver Jews, whose star only glistens brighter each time we check in with them. 1998 fan-favorite American Water isn't a bad place to start. You just can't escape the call of this band's silvery gleam. Still pleasant, still clever, still all the great pop action David Berman and Stephen Malkmus can dream up over the course of an album's time. Twelve chuckle-along anthems of the '90s including "Random Rules" and "Smith & Jones Forever," two of their all-time finest. Observing the time between then and now, the album has been half-speed mastered at Abbey Road to provide depth and nuance for all future vinyl listeners.
