Starflyer 59 (Silver) is the debut studio album by alternative rock band Starflyer 59. It was released on March 3, 1994, by Tooth & Nail Records. Inspired by acts like The Cure, The Smiths, and Black Sabbath, Silver features a heavy alternative rock sound strongly influenced by British shoegaze bands of the early 1990s. The album explores themes surrounding melancholy, heartbreak, and Christian faith.

In June 2005, Tooth & Nail released an extended, remastered edition of Silver. It features eight bonus tracks from its companion She's the Queen EP, released in 1994. This was accompanied by an extended, remastered edition of second studio album Gold, marking its 10th anniversary.

Background and recording

In the CD liner notes for the Easy Come, Easy Go compilation album released in 2000, band biographer J. Edward Keyes records that future Starflyer 59 frontman Jason Martin, having performed in various fledgling bands started by his enterprising brother Ronnie Martin (Joy Electric), frequented live shows of local California Christian rock act Lifesavers Underground (LSU) alongside Ronnie. Having learned that LSU frontman Michael Knott was starting a new record label, Ronnie Martin forwarded a demo that he and Jason had been developing. Impressed by their work, Knott signed the Martins to his new label Blonde Vinyl, with the Martins taking the name Dance House Children.
