Dean Wareham Vs. Cheval Sombre,
just wanna give you the heads up about my upcoming album, Dean Wareham Vs. Cheval Sombre, a collection of western dreampop I made with my friend Chris (aka Cheval Sombre). Chris and I took turns on lead vocals, Jason Quever produced at Palmetto Recording here in L.A. I play the electric guitars, backed by Britta Phillips, Anthony LaMarca, Jason Quever and Will Halsey. Some of these songs (e.g. "Wandering Star") are from old Hollywood movies, others are by songwriters like Bob Dylan and Stephen Merritt.
The record will officially be released October 26 but I am offering some special items and bundled discounts if you pre-order from my new website deanwareham.com, and you'll also receive early downloads of a couple of album tracks that we'll release early in September.
-- signed, color vinyl LP (only making 300 of these and they will not be in stores). The colored vinyl edition comes with a special, square-shaped, lathe-cut, clear vinyl 7" single with special art -- for a bonus track "Along the Santa Fe Trail"
Here's the track listing for the album:
The Bend in the River
Tomorrow is a Long Time
Mountains of the Moon
If I Could Only Fly
Wayfaring Stranger
Alberta
Wand’rin’ Star
Greensboro Woman
My Rifle, My Pony and Me
Grand Canyon
Yours sincerely,
Dean
