Listen to the new EP“Stolen Souvenir” video by Peter Hamlin & Nina Frenkel
Our good friends Peter Hamlin and Nina Frenkel took this song on a dreamy, animated ramble, and we’re totally dumbstruck and thrilled with what they came up with. Load the video fullscreen and give it a look… We also gave this little interview to IFC on the making of video for its premiere on their site.
New Song for Gregory Crewdson Documentary
The band was in the studio last week to record this cover of the Speedies’ “Let Me Take Your Photo” for a new film from our friend Ben Shapiro, Gregory Crewdson: Brief Encounters.

The track, which was written by Crewdson’s band growing up, closes the movie out as credits roll, and it was lotsa fun. Want to hear the original? Believe us, you do. Here.
Little Silver is in LOOOOVE
Paste Magazine has us pegged as “Musical Sweethearts” and included us in their Valentine’s Day Special here. Very cute. We can’t help but notice that all the other couples look totally smitten, while we look like we’re stewing something. We can’t recall if we were….
Chris Whitley cover | Sneak-peek listen from “Dress-Up”!
We’ve got a new EP coming out early in the New Year, a covers record called Dress-Up! We’re wracking ourselves a little to do the songs that we love some decent justice — to cast them in a new and personal light, as one would hope anyone tries to do when stepping up to a cover. And so the set list has changed a little over the months, as we cry “uncle” to some songs, and others that we didn’t even expect to do so fall together easily. “Dirt Floor” is one song we’ve had our sites on for years (and one our good friends Ollabelle took for a great ride this year too). Cover Me just ran a nice piece about the track, and is offering it as a free download as well. Check out the story (and hear the song!) here.
Magnet review & “Stolen Souvenir” download
Magnet announced their auspicious return to PRINT today (go music press, go!) and let a great review of Little Silver fly, all in one fell swoop. They feature the song as a free download here.
“Sleep til Morning” download from Paste
We’re thrilled to announce that “Sleep til Morning”, the lead song on The Stolen Souvenir, is a featured download on Paste.com! Go get yourselves a copy here if you don’t got one already, and spread the word. We’ve got longstanding affection for Paste (their editors were keen and early Hem-adopters, plus they just plain put out one of the BEST DAMN music mags there is), and we’re really happy to have them now bringing Little Silver your way!
“Where We Met” video by Jim Collier
We celebrated the release of the new record with this video from the wond’rous Jim Collier. Jim’s worked with both of us in the past (he did this for Hem and this for the Sprinkle Genies), and he drove with us from Windsor Terrace to Coney Island one hot summer day.
