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.
Observing the album's use of heavily distorted and effects-drenched guitars, CCM Magazine commented that Silver was "quite unlike anything else in Christian music" at the time. The record was produced by Jyro Xhan and Jerome Fontamillas, at the time members of the group Mortal, under the collective pseudonym "Blood".
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.
