Dean Wareham - "That's the Price of Loving Me"

The legendary Dean Wareham (Luna, Galaxie 500, Dean & Britta) is set to release his fourth solo album and has released the title track. "That's the Price of Loving Me" kind of sounds like if Wareham had been releasing music in the 60's. The song has a conga rhythm and vintage Moog synthesizers which makes the song have a delightfully 60's crooner sound. Of course, this is a Dean Wareham song, so there is plenty of vintage indie rock sounds to balance the entire thing out. "That's the Price of Loving Me" is a beautiful and fun song from one of our all time favorite artists. Plus, what more do you want from a song than a killer Moog solo?

Dean Wareham says of his latest single:

“‘That’s the Price of Loving Me’ is about our life on the road but also a dream I had about our tour manager and dear friend Kiko, who passed away a couple years ago; he drove us around Europe in his Mercedes Sprinter with red zebra upholstery."
