The Silver Lining

Soul Asylum

A resilient blend of anthemic power-pop and gritty heartland rock. Recorded during the loss of their bassist, it balances heavy grief with soaring, radio-ready hooks.

July 11, 2006 · Sony Records Int'l

A resilient, bittersweet celebration of life and friendship in the face of inevitable loss.

Moments Worth Listening For
The defiant surge of the chorus in Stand Up and Be Strong which feels like a collective exhale.
The heavy, resonant bass tone on Standing Water knowing it was Karl Mueller's final contribution.
The hidden track Fearless Leader closing the record with a sense of unresolved, quiet dignity.
