Dean Wareham, the acclaimed songwriter behind Galaxie 500 and Luna, returns in 2025 with That's the Price of Loving Me, a richly crafted album recorded with longtime collaborator Kramer. The 10-track record draws on an eclectic range of influences — from Burt Bacharach to Serge Gainsbourg to Norma Tanega — resulting in something more complex and layered than anything in Wareham's previous catalog.
That's the Price of Loving Me is a thoughtful and nuanced listen, balancing moments of quiet introspection with flashes of understated brilliance, including a standout midpoint guitar solo and lush arrangements featuring cello and hushed backing vocals from Britta Phillips. Lyrically, Wareham navigates modern anxieties and wry social observation across tracks like "The Cloud is Coming" and "We're Not Finished Yet," making this a rewarding album for both longtime fans and newcomers to his work. Released on Carpark Records and pressed on clear vinyl with a printed inner sleeve, this is a beautifully presented edition of one of his most ambitious efforts.
