Silver Jews Recording With Malkmus

Zach Vowell reports:
So we know that a mere reissue of Pavement's Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain
isn't enough to fill the gigantic slacker hole that the band's demise left
in your life. However, there is one bright spot-- the Silver Jews are still
recording (or is it recording again?), long after their Matador
counterpart's demise. And though the process is way too embryonic to start
talking about tracklists and release dates, much less album titles, the
basic (and pretty fucking exciting) facts are confirmed by Drag City:
Stephen Malkmus, Steve West, and Bob Nastanovich are on board to help David
Berman with his latest masterpiece. This piece of news substantiates what
rampant rumors have speculated ever since Malkmus posted the following on
his website: "Nashville is unseasonably warm-- there are termites in my
computer that adds things to the dialog". Not that he's not usually cryptic
as hell anyway. American Water fans everywhere were baffled by everything
after "Nashville", but that city, that city conjured up such sweet
possibilities. Consider the possible the actual. 

The curate's egg that is the indie rumor mill also named Will Oldham as a
participant, but, according to Drag City, that mysterious "Prince" cannot be
nailed down as a collaborator (though we agree with the mill that he would
fit in perfectly). But don't fret-- Mike Fellows, another American Water
vet, has been involved, as well as Cassie Berman. The provocative list
continues with ex-Jesus Lizard axe handler Duane Denison, Nashville mainstay
Bobby Bare, Jr., Bare's (and Olham's, Lambchop's, and Calexico's, for that
matter) collaborator Tony Crow, Chicago vocalist/scenester AZITA, and
drummer/vocalist Brian Kotzur. Note also that the rumors intimated this
could be the Jews' last album; with an all-star cast like this, it could be
the final hurrah.
