David Berman comes in from the cold after ten long years. His new musical expression is a meltdown unparalleled in modern memory. He warns us that his findings might be candid, but as long as his punishment comes in such bite-sized delights of all-American jukebox fare, we'll hike the Purple Mountains with pleasure forever.
Purple Mountains is the final musical endeavor of David Berman, released a decade after he’d disbanded Silver Jews. Produced by Jeremy Earl and Jarvis Taveniere of Woods, the songs are a ruthless combination of formal brilliance and harrowing confessions of humanity. Purple Mountains stands among the best music David Berman ever made. Which is really saying something!
