Whoa!
Reported from Pitchfork:
Silver Jews Wrapping Up LP For July Release
Matt Amis reports:
David Berman, founder of the rotating super-group the Silver Jews, recently posted a detailed communiquĊ½ on Drag City's bulletin board entitled "all my strange is gonna be friendly," in which he spilled info on the band's new album-- currently titled Tanglewood Numbers-- and its ridiculous line-up of musicians.
The album-- which Berman says will be completed February 24 (and probably released in July)-- features, as previously reported, the return of Stephen Malkmus. But that's not all! According to Berman, joining in the fun are such notables as Will Oldham, Mike Fellows, Brian Kotzur, Bob Nastanovich, Bobby Bare Jr., Steve West, Duane Denison, Azita Youseffi, Pete Cummings, Tony Crow, Paz Lenchatain, and J.D. Wilkes. Whew.
Without going so far as to divulge an official tracklist, Berman posted the working song titles for Tanglewood Numbers. Which means that we will happily do the same (trust us, you don't want to try and find that shit on Drag City's site):
Sleeping Is the Only Love
There Is a Place
Punks in the Beerlight
How Can I Love You (If You Won't Lie Down?)
The Poor the Fair and the Good
Animal Shapes
I'm Getting Back (Into Getting Back Into Getting Back Into You)
Sometimes The Pony Gets Depressed
K-hole
The Farmer's Hotel
Brian's Song
Freezing in the Shadow of Your Knee
Region Ten
Regarding the rampant speculation that Tanglewood Numbers will be the Silver Jews' swan song, Berman wrote, "is it the last silver jews album? Impossible! As long as two of us walk the earth the band is still together. And, as always, thanks to you that give a damn about what we do."
