30 Years Of SIlver Jews' Natural Bridge

Berman summed a brilliant cast of musicians for this merciless masterpiece, including Matt Hunter and Peyton Pinkerton from New Radiant Storm King, Rian Murphy, Michael Deming, and Thom Monahan; the album is blissfully dark, downright delightful, and completely ahead of its time as far as the grunge era knew.

Like a celestial star collapsing in on itself with no one around to witness its melodic mayhem, Berman tapped into something spiritual during this period in his career, and while “Natural Bridge” may come before “American Water” (1998), it most certainly could not come after. It features the album’s opaque opener “How To Rent A Room,” “Pet Politics,” “Dallas,” “The Frontier Index,” and “Pretty Eyes.” It’s almost impossible to imagine this album not existing, and who would want to occupy such a captivating coil without this subliminal soundtrack of a lifetime?

Now reading at The Self Portrait Gospel.

The Self Portrait Gospel presents: “And The Nights Were Perfect, Too” - A Silver Jews Podcast

Season 1 Ep. 03 :: “Let The Stars Get In Your Eyes w/ Matt Hunter”

It’s always fun connecting one of your favorite bands with another, especially if you weren't around when specific scenes and artistic areas collided in a cosmic coincidence. We should never take for granted or overlook just how tethered together we truly are. Some of you may have kept up with our series “The Burning Nerve Ending Magic Podcast - A Sun City Girls Story”, so we’ll start there with our most recent guest on the “And The Nights Were Perfect, Too” - A Silver Jews Podcast, Matt Hunter. Born and raised in Phoenix when groups like J.F.A., Meat Puppets, Poet’s Corner, and of course, the Sun City Girls, to name a few, creatively controlled the sun-baked culture of the “Valley Of The Sun”, Hunter immersed himself in the local scene before eventually connecting with our poetic protagonist, David Berman, in later years. A lot of you may already know about Hunter and his work with the New Radiant Storm Kings, which he started with fellow bandmate Peyton Pinkerton, who also participated on the Silver Jew’s 1996 masterpiece “Natural Bridge”.

Named after the 215-foot horizontal limestone structure in Rockbridge County, VA, where the Cedar Creek once flowed, Hunter takes us through the secret backgrounds of where the album was recorded in a once-old gun manufacturing warehouse in Hartford, CT, in 1996; the band followed Berman’s legendary lead into the atmospheric aether where romanticism, religion, geographical gestures, and vibrant visuals of America’s lyrical landscape peaks the interest of the most iconic individuals to reflect upon its beauty. “Natural Bridge” is a classic that even Joyce, Steinbeck, and Kerouac would find themselves listening to for an epidural of endless enlightenment.

Available wherever you get your podcasts.
