SILVER NEWS

Drag City will issue a collection of early recordings of one of my all-time favorite bands Silver Jews, titled Early Times, on June 19! Recorded when the lineup consisted of David Berman, Stephen Malkmus, and Bob Nastanovich, these 14 tracks were "captured in the hiss-laden boombox mics of 1990-91," according to a press release. They're culled from the band's long out-of-print The Arizona Record 12" (1993) and Dime Map of the Reef 7" (1992).
