Jun 28, 2019 Purple Mountains By Christopher Roberts

Purple Mountains is the new project of David Berman, who was previously the frontman (and sole constant member) of Silver Jews. Berman’s self-titled debut album under the Purple Mountains name is due out July 12 via Drag City. Now he has shared another song from it, “Margaritas at the Mall.” Listen below, followed by Purple Mountains’ upcoming tour dates.

Purple Mountains is Berman’s first album in 11 years, since 2008’s Silver Jews album Lookout Mountain, Lookout Sea. Previously the first Purple Mountains single, “All Happiness is Gone,” was shared. Then he shared another song from it, “Darkness and Cold,” via a video for the track (it was one of our Songs of the Week).
