From wikipedia:

Jews sixth studio album, due to be released 17 June 2008. It
was recorded in Nashville and Lexington, Virginia. Silver
Jews records are known for featuring different casts of

said that the album is "really different" to previous LPs.
The album leaked onto the internet on March 17, 2008."

Tracklist:

"What Is Not but Could Be If" - 3:08

______________________________________________

Silver Jews' previous album (Tanglewood Numbers) was rather
disappointing in my opinion - at least compared to American
Water (one of my favorite albums of the 90s).

I'm really excited by this latest release, however. It's
easily Silver Jews' best album yet, along with AW. The album
itself is musically more concise, lyrically sharper and
overall better produced than their latest albums. The mood
and music is darker and more country-ish (which is a good
thing) compared to Tanglewood Numbers' more guitar rock
driven sound. The lyrics are excellent and the album
contains some of Berman's most memorable songs yet.

Overall, I'd say there's not a single weak song on this
album. It's the best album I've heard so far this year, and
I predict it'll be near the top on my 'best albums of 2008'
list. I can't wait to get a hold of this release.
