Artists starting with Silver Jews

Silver Jews, “Early Times” (Drag City, 2012; original release 1990-91)
First e.p. and album from this band are a very cracked, lo-fi and intriguing affair, with memorable melodies lurking across the dust-caked glass. Mid-tempo pummel reminiscent of a looser, Neil Young-inflected Pavement, but the song structures here actually anticipate Pavement’s later work (influenced it?), rather than vice versa.
