The Return of David Berman

From Pitchfork:

"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."

You should already know that American Water, the last SJ album with Malkmus, is - there's really no other way of stating this - the shit. And the addition of West and Bobby N. harkens all the way back to Starlite Walker, one of the earliest SJ releases.

I had already seen this as rumor in a few other places, but now that Drag City has officially said so, I'm pumped. So, Matador, what's up with the new Malkmus album?
