American Water is the third full-length studio album by indie rock group Silver Jews. Released in 1998 as an LP and CD on DragCity in America and Domino in Europe, American Water was recorded at The Rare Book Room in Brooklyn and mastered at Abbey Road Studios. The album features musicians Tim Barnes, David Berman, Mike Fellows, Stephen Malkmus, Chris Stroffolino, and artwork by Chris Kysor.

 

According to a 1998 article in online zine Addicted to Noise, the working title for this album was The Late, Great Silver Jews -- a reference to the similarly titled 1972 album by Townes Van Zandt. Among the songs recorded for the album, but omitted from the final product, were “Self-Ignition” (released as a B-side on the “Send in the Clouds” single) and “Police Conversation, 1783”, which was never released.

 

Silver Jews was an indie rock band from New York City, formed in 1989 by David Berman along with Pavement's Stephen Malkmus and Bob Nastanovich. Berman remained throughout and was the only constant member. During the last few albums, Cassie Berman became a regular member of the band. They disbanded in 2009.
