As the leader of slowcore pioneers Galaxie 500 and Luna, Dean Wareham crafted practically perfect atmospheric pop, spacey lounge-act fare suitable for cocktails and candles. Wareham's book, "Black Postcards: A Memoir" , was just released in paperback by Penguin Press. Before joining Luna as a bass player, Britta starred in the movie Satisfaction with Julia Roberts, Justine Bateman and Liam Neeson, and was the singing voice of 80s cartoon character, JEM.

Over the past several years, Wareham & former Luna bandmate Britta Phillips have scored Noah Baumbach's film The Squid & The Whale and teamed up with producer Tony Visconti (Bowie, T. Rex) to record two albums, "L'Avventura," and "Back Numbers."

'Steeped in the 1960s avant-kitsch made everlastingly cool by Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra—as well as Serge Gainsbourg and his conquests du jour—the singers strike a comely balance between the retro and the real. Phillips is a charming sex kitten, one whose breathy allure can swell into a shout on mock-orchestral love anthems like “You Turn My Head Around,” a song so perfectly shaped it fits the vocalist like Anna Karina’s sweater.'

Dean & Britta started up their own label last year, Double Feature Records, to re-release "L'Avventura" which had gone out of print. They have now released albums by other artists they love (My Robot Friend, Cheval Sombre, The Sand Pebbles).

Last year, Dean & Britta were commissioned by The Warhol Museum to write and perform songs to accompany 13 of Andy Warhol's screen tests.

Now on DVD, 13 Most Beautiful...Songs for Andy Warhol's Screen Tests features 13 of Warhol's classic silent film portraits with songs & instrumentals by Dean & Britta. Subjects include Nico, Lou Reed, Edie Sedgwick, Dennis Hopper, and more. Shot between 1964 and 1966 at Warhol's Factory studio in New York City, this is the first ever authorized DVD release of films by Andy Warhol.

Dean & Britta, with their band, have been touring the world with the show, performing beneath projections of these 13 Silver Factory Superstars. They are currently finishing up a CD of the songs with a 2nd CD of remixes to be released in summer 2010.

Welcome home! The daytime moon on this side of the planet shimmered while you were gone ... I’m sure that it wasn’t just me who longed for your return to this hemisphere. But now all’s right with the world, the stars have alined, the skies have cleared, and I’m listening to bootlegged live shows ... “SIGH.”  Sorry, I'm just feeling rather fuzzy.

thanks for the add! We love your music.

If you have a chance check out our debut EP (which is also on sale in Rough trade) on our myspace page. Heres some blurb about it:

From the raw, minimal electricity of 'This is The Blues', the slow burning drone rock epic 'I Don't Know' to the damaged, heart felt vocal of 'Lay it on Down'. The Lost Soul Crusade hang melodies and pop hooks on the bare bones of minimal drone rock songs.

 A Nation



 



America grows up



Before our weary eyes,



Accepting its troubles



Before thy glory dies.



 



What have we learned



From centuries of battle,



What have we gained



Shining liberty’s saddle?



 



Our rightful place on Earth



We have earned,



A quest for betterment,



Maturing, maturing.



 



Issues abound, we tempt our fates,



Settling differences in our United States.

Happy New Decade! 

Traveled from Philly to see the New Year's Eve show at Southpaw.  Outside the weather was frightful, but the scene inside quite delightful!  Thanks for a super set.  Only wished there was more time, and it was a shame we were rushed out after.  Loved the energy, the positive mood, and left Brooklyn feeling that the future will be  rosy and just fine....  thank you for that you do!

Also, btw, loved the concert poster.  Hope to see more like it.

See you again soon I hope,
Danielle
