"Silly Me" turned up on Amen & Goodbye, the fourth album from experimental rockers Yeasayer, which Mute released on April 1, 2016. Chris Keating, Ira Wolf Tuton and Anand Wilder split the writing credit three ways, words and music, and the band produced it with Joey Waronker, leaving the mix to Matty Green.
The album around it took its sweet time. Yeasayer spent four years making it, longer than any record they had made before, and a rainstorm that damaged their tapes only dragged things out further. For the first time they tracked live out in the open, in the wilds of upstate New York. Sculptor David Altmejd made the cover art, which the band described as a pile-up of Sgt. Pepper, Hieronymus Bosch, Dalí and Pee-wee's Playhouse.
