Silver Jews Lookout Mountain, Lookout Sea [Drag City/Jun 17] |
| The latest offering from the prolific indie mainstay David Berman isn’t as instantly accessible as some of his older work (read: American Water), however, it definitely creeps up after multiple listens. The lack of Stephen Malkmus is particularly notable (his touring backing band has much more of a pentience for americana-styled guitarplay), but Berman’s brilliant, literary lyrics and deadpan delivery are as clever and witty as ever. Though not his best work, Lookout Mountain, Lookout Sea is certainly a worthy companion in Silver Jews’ catalogue.
