Dean Wareham was born in Wellington, New Zealand. He moved to New York City as a teenager in 1977, and attended the high school where he met his future Galaxie 500 bandmates. He graduated from Harvard University with a degree in Social Studies. In 1987 he founded Galaxie 500, who released three albums, all produced by Kramer and released on Rough Trade. 2024 saw the release of new compilation of B-sides and previously unreleased tracks: Uncollected Noise New York ʼ88-ʼ90. Warehamʼs next band Luna recorded seven albums for Elektra and Beggarʼs Banquet (including Penthouse, on Rolling Stoneʼs list of best albums of the 90s), followed by three albums as Dean & Britta (with his wife Britta Phillips), and two solo albums. His most recent release, also on Carpark Records, was a holiday album in collaboration with Britta and Sonic Boom.
His memoir Black Postcards is a chronicle of his years in indie rock and was published by Penguin. He has also co-composed soundtracks and acted in several films for Noah Baumbach, most recently White Noise.
Thatʼs the Price of Loving Me is Dean's first album with Kramer since Galaxie 500ʼs This Is Our Music in 1990.
