Dean Wareham, the acclaimed songwriter behind Galaxie 500 and Luna, returns in 2025 with That's the Price of Loving Me, a rich and reflective collection produced by Kramer. The album's 10 tracks draw on an eclectic range of influences — from Burt Bacharach and Serge Gainsbourg to Norma Tanega — resulting in a sound that feels both deeply familiar and more musically complex than Wareham's earlier work.
That's the Price of Loving Me is a quietly captivating record, blending understated guitars, chiming folk-tinged melodies, and Wareham's distinctive vocals into a relaxed yet emotionally resonant atmosphere. Thematically, the album navigates modern-day anxieties and wry social observation while finding moments of warmth and beauty, including swooning 50s-style guitar passages that echo the spirit of Wareham's Galaxie 500 days. The Desert Haze Tan vinyl pressing includes a printed inner sleeve, making it a handsome addition to any collection.
