专辑介绍
by Heather Phares
American Water, the Silver Jews' third full-length release, reunites David Berman and Stephen Malkmus and adds new members Mike Fellows, Tim Barnes, and Chris Stroffolino. Named after a poster Berman saw at his veterinarian's office for American Water Spaniels, the album boasts some of the Jews' best arrangements and playing, from the flute and brass-tinged &Random Rules& to the driven but eloquent guitars on &Night Society& to the wah-wah friendly, '70s-style pop of &People.& American Water also varies in tempo and mood more than any Silver Jews album since Starlite Walker. &Send in the Clouds& and &Smith & Jones Forever& gallop along, while &We Are Real& and &The Wild Kindness& stroll. Though most of the album's lyrics aren't as personal as those on The Natural Bridge, they still feature Berman's detailed wit, like this couplet from &People&: &The drums march along at the clip of an IV drip/Like sparks from a muffler dragged down the strip.& The tight, sunny-sounding production sparkles on songs like &Honk if You're Lonely Tonight,& and Berman's and Malkmus' twin vocals brighten songs like &Blue Arrangements& and &Federal Dust.& As with all of the Jews' best work, American Water sounds like it was made for the band's own enjoyment, and the listener is just eavesdropping on their fun.
