The Silver City CD

Produced by Grammy-winning songwriter/producer Dan Wilson, ‘The Silver City’ is a sweeping, poignant album that showcases messersmith’s estimable songwriting talents – echoes of Brian Wilson, Sufjan Stevens, and Elliott Smith abound – as well as his uncanny ability to warmly welcome the listener into his vivid musical world as he takes you somewhere special with each moving song. 

From the very first sounds heard on ‘The Silver City,’ captured on a Twin Cities light rail train by messersmith’s voice recorder, to those very same last tones on the album that bring the trip full circle, these 11 songs take listeners on a guided journey not only of jeremy’s familiar haunts in Minneapolis and Saint Paul, but also an intensely personal examination of the raw feelings, deep emotions, and crushing loneliness that modern city living conjures up.
