Jul 12, 2019 By Christopher Roberts Purple Mountains

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 was released today via Drag City. Now that the album is out, you can stream the whole thing below. Also below are 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). Then he shared one more pre-release song from it, “Margaritas at the Mall.”
