Tanglewood Numbers is the fifth studio album by Silver Jews, released in 2005.
Like on all of their other albums, Silver Jews' principal song writer and constant band member is David Berman. On this album, 14 other musicians are involved in the performance and creation.
Tanglewood Numbers marked the return of Pavement members Stephen Malkmus and Bob Nastanovich into Silver Jews. Cassie Berman, wife of David Berman, also appears.
The album's cover is a photograph by famed Southern photographer William Eggleston.
During its recording, Tanglewood Numbers was nearly destroyed in a fire that burned down Memphis' historic Easley-McCain studio, where the album was going to be mastered.
