Silver Jews
Early Times
2012 Drag City

A collection of the early music of SILVER JEWS back in print for the first time in forever. Early Times contains all the tracks from the band’s Dime Map of the Reef 7-inch and The Arizona Record 12-inch, documenting the telepathic counter-intuition between DAVID BERMAN, STEPHEN MALKMUS and BOBBY NASTANOVICH, who went into such specific different directions later in life. “Trillion Story Walkup” aficionados and apologists know that there’s loads more from these muddy wells, enough so that Drag City might well get around to another dose, another couple sides of Silver Jews early times before too long.
