Starflyer 59 (Silver) is the eponymous debut studio album of alternative rock band Starflyer 59. It was released on March 3, 1994 by Tooth & Nail Records. In June 2005, Tooth & Nail released an extended, remastered edition of Silver, featuring eight bonus tracks from the band's She's the Queen EP. This was accompanied by an extended, remastered edition of second studio album Gold, marking its 10th anniversary.
The album uses heavily distorted and effects-drenched guitars, influenced by British shoegaze and dream pop bands of the early 1990s. This is in contrast with the band's later work, which is characterized by a cleaner, more traditional, "American rock" sound. CCM Magazine commented that the release 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".
