David Berman (born David Craig Berman in Brooklyn, NYC, on 4 January 1967; died 7 August 2019) was an American musician, singer, poet and cartoonist remembered for his work with indie-rock band Silver Jews. In January 2009, Berman announced his retirement from music. In 2019, Berman released his first music in over a decade, a single entitled "All My Happiness Is Gone", followed by an album, using the moniker Purple Mountains. While at college, Berman began writing and performing songs (often left on friends' voice message machines) with his loose band, Ectoslavia, primarily composed of UVA classmates Stephen Malkmus and Bob Nastanovich. He had also founded another band, Pavement, with his childhood friend Scott Kannberg at about the same time as Silver Jews formed. As Pavement's acclaim and visibility grew, the notion arose that Silver Jews was a Pavement 'side-project', despite the fact that Silver Jews preceded Pavement, and Berman's writing, singing, and guitar playing led the Silver Jews' music. On January 22, 2009, Berman announced via the official Drag City message board that he would be retiring from making music (along with the Silver Jews moniker), and would play a final show at Cumberland Caverns in McMinnville, Tennessee on January 31, 2009. Berman returned to music in 2018, co-producing Yonatan Gat's critically acclaimed album Universalists. In May 2019, Berman released his first music in over a decade, a single entitled "All My Happiness Is Gone", using the moniker Purple Mountains. An eponymous debut album was released in July 2019, and an accompanying tour was scheduled at the time of Berman's death.
