THE SILVER LINING, Soul Asylum’s ninth full-length album (there were several EPs and cassette-only releases back in the indie ’80s) is every bit as quirky and off-centered cut-to-the-bone rock as their hardcore fans have come to expect, an indication that the Minneapolis-bred band has lost none of its edge. And why should they?
"We weren’t Mouseketeers," Dave said, "we never had any sort of showbiz advice that was useful to us. Everything that we’ve done has been relatively homespun and we’ve had to do it all by ourselves and we never got a lot of fake support or showbiz chops or anything like that."
But Soul Asylum is a band of story-tellers in the Midwestern tradition, and the new album also digs deep into interpersonal relationships ("Crazy Mixed Up World," "Lately"), the fabric of peaceful co-existence ("Good For You"), and even a couple of songs that are redolent of New Orleans, Dave’s second home-away-from-home for the past few years ("Standing Water," "Bus Named Desire"). The downtown punk rock vibe crashes through on several cuts ("All Is Well," "Whatcha Need"). The new album was recorded at Flyte Time and the Terrarium Studios in Minneapolis, co-produced by Soul Asylum with Grammy Award-winning engineer-turned-producer Steve Hodge (on various tracks), and with John Field (on various tracks).
