Silver is the second EP by Jesu, their third release overall, released by Hydra Head Records on 11 April 2006.[2] 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.[3] Pitchfork Media placed the title track at #488 on their "The Top 500 Tracks of the 2000s" list. Decibel ranked the EP the 6th best release of 2006[4] and the 26th best release of the decade.[5]

The Japanese edition of this album contains two additional mixes of the songs "Silver" and "Wolves".
