The pain that Berman felt around The Natural Bridge helped him to formulate a new Silver Jews album with Malkmus, American Water. [44] It was significant to Berman and the band's progression. [51] They had now "stepped out of Pavement's shadow ... This was clearly his project and represented his vision", his songwriting having been at the foreground of the former album. [52] By this point he felt confident in his musical career. [53] Berman's drug use continued, and he was using them during studio sessions. Despite his personal turmoil, Berman wanted the album to be joyous like "other people['s] records" rather than grim. The band intended to tour in late 1998 but plans were ended after a fistfight led to his eardrum rupturing. [44] Clark, Eric (October 9, 2008). "Silver Jews on 'Lookout' for a wider audience".

Berman went to the University of Virginia in 1985. [12] He had been—by his own admission—"too lazy" to apply for college, so his father's secretary completed and submitted applications on his behalf. [11] At university, Berman met fellow students Stephen Malkmus, Bob Nastanovich, and James McNew. [1] He frequently attended concerts, shared records, and discussed obscure bands with Malkmus and Nastanovich, having first encountered the former in a carpool to a show. [19] The quartet formed the band Ectoslavia. [20] He graduated in 1989 with a bachelor's degree in English literature.
