Silver is the second EP by Jesu, their third release overall, released by Hydra Head Records on 11 April 2006. This album shows a more melodic and poppy side to the band than the previous two Jesu releases, drawing comparisons to shoegazing bands such as My Bloody Valentine and Ride. Pitchfork Media placed the title track at on their "The Top 500 Tracks of the 2000s" list. Decibel ranked the EP the 6th best release of 2006 and the 26th best release of the decade.

The music on Silver is simultaneously crushingly heavy and ethereally melodic. Jesu: Justin Broadrick – Guitar, Vocals Diarmuid Dalton – Bass Ted Parsons – Drums. The title track begins with the sound of swelling distortion. Jesu make up for the repetition by lacing the album with melody.

Jesu is the first full-length album by British experimental music band Jesu, released through Hydra Head Records on 8 December 2004. Unlike the Heart Ache EP, where Justin Broadrick executed all instrumentation himself, this release features Ted Parsons on drums, Diarmuid Dalton on bass, and a guest appearance by Paul Neville on guitar on the track "Man/Woman".

I don't understand the pain I just don't feel quite the same When you hear them walk away Left you here so you can stay. Silver's just another gold When you're bitter and you're old You could tell me anything But not what the future brings.

Silver EP. Hydra Head. There's still plenty of that patented guitar crunch here, but Silver exhibits a stronger sense of melody, as if the syrupy haze froze a bit and in the process created something more crystalline. The title track neatly posits, "Silver's just another gold"; this EP manages to immerse such precious-metal glimmer into the mire.
