Silver Lake is an album by the American musician Vic Chesnutt, released in 2003.[1][2] Chesnutt supported the album with a North American tour that included shows with M. Ward.[3][4]
Recorded over two weeks in Silver Lake, Los Angeles, the album was produced by Mark Howard.[5][6][7] It was a more musically expansive album; Chesnutt, perhaps ironically, had initially intended to make "a big giant record, a ponderous, overproduced monstrosity."[8] Chesnutt did not know his backing band before entering the studio.[9] He claimed that the album contains references and secret messages to Victoria Williams.[10]
"In My Way, Yes" expresses gratitude for Chesnutt's achievements.[11] "Styrofoam" is about the interior life of a Styrofoam cooler.[12] "Sultan, So Mighty" is about a harem eunuch.[13] "Second Floor" is based on a Chinese poem from the fifth century.[14] "I'm Through" describes a breakup.[15]
