The Silver Jews were a CultClassic lo-fi indie/alternative country band from New York City (and later Virginia, and later Nashville). Though poet David Berman was the leader and songwriter of the band, and its only constant member, the Silver Jews unfortunately became best known as a side project of hugely more successful band Music/{{Pavement}}, due to its members Stephen Malkmus and Bob Nastanovich being part of the band's earliest lineups.

!Tropes represented by Silver Jews:
* AlbumIntroTrack: "Introduction II" on ''Starlite Walker''.
* BittersweetEnding: "I Remember Me" is about a man who is hit by a truck and falls into a coma from which isn't expected to wake up. He does wake up (and even buys the truck that hit him), but by this time his girlfriend has found someone else.
* BreakupBreakout: Stephen Malkmus and Bob Nastanovich with Music/{{Pavement}}.
* CoverVersion: A few interesting choices -- Music/GeorgeStrait's "Friday Night Fever", Music/TheRollingStones' "Cocksucker Blues", Maher Shalal Hash Baz's "Open Field", [[{{REM}} R.E.M.]]'s "Good Advices", and even a musical rendition of Creator/WaltWhitman's poem "O Captain! My Captain!".
* EpicRocking: "San Francisco, BC" and "The Farmer's Hotel" are both humorous storytelling songs which clock in at over six and seven minutes, respectively.
* IAmTheBand: David C. Berman.
* MotorMouth: "Aloysius, Bluegrass Drummer".
* PerishingAltRockVoice
* RevolvingDoorBand: Aside from DCB, his wife Cassie, and Stephen Malkmus to some extent, the Joos' lineup very regularly changed. The band's article on The Other Wiki counts at least 27 members over the band's run.
* TitleOnlyChorus: "Strange Victory, Strange Defeat".
* VocalTagTeam: DCB and Malkmus on earlier records, and DCB and his wife Cassie on later records.
* WordSaladLyrics: DCB's more abstract lyrics (i.e. "The Wild Kindness", "Pan-American Blues") can occasionally read as this.
