Jeffrey Silverstein is home. His third full-length album, Doggone, is evidence of that long-journeyed fact.
Meeting at the intersection of the loner-folk, cosmic country and kraut-laden choogle, from Doggone’s opening pulse of rhythms to its closing cascade of synths, listeners encounter a musician fully rooted in the creative community around him and firmly held by the life he’s built over the last decade.
Where his past several releases saw the New Jersey native settling into life in the Pacific Northwest – observing, appreciating, getting the lay of the land – and finding his footing in the alt-Americana sphere into which he unexpectedly fell, with Doggone, he’s immovable, intentional, and most of all, at peace.
That initial realization left him feeling a little awestruck, ultimately lending to the name of his new work. While the expression, “doggone,” exists on a spectrum – the declaration can be used to signal anything from pulse-hammering irritation to cloud-climbing pleasure – Silverstein’s latest project falls squarely in the middle, at that amorphous place where “doggone”becomes a proclamation of pleasant surprise.
