If you're here, you most likely know and love the music of Dean Wareham. The man is a living legend of indie rock, and has been making music since the late 1980's, first with Galaxie 500 and currently with Dean & Britta and Luna. Now he's set to release a new solo album, which sees him working with producer Kramer for the first time since Galaxie 500's This is Our Music all the way back in 1990. The first single from that album, "You Were the Ones I Had to Betray," is going to be perfect for any existing fans of Wareham's music along with anyone looking for a jumping on point. It's a little more folk-esque than we typically hear from Wareham, but there's also enough of the trademark dream pop and slowcore sounds that Wareham helped pioneer. Plus, Wareham's music just has that little something special that makes it all him, and "You Were the Ones I Had to Betray" is no exception.
Dean Wareham says of his latest single:
“I wrote this at the last minute, thinking about how love and friendship seem to actually invite betrayal. I didn’t really anticipate where the song would end up musically; it was transformed when Gabe Noel added the cello arrangement in the studio.”
You can watch the video for "You Were the Ones I Had to Betray" below. That's the Price of Loving Me is due out March 28 on Carpark Records, and is available for pre-order here. For more on Dean Wareham, check out the artist on Instagram and Facebook. Upcoming tour dates are below the video.
