Jul 18, 2018 Dean & Britta By Christopher Roberts

Dean Wareham (of Luna, Galaxie 500, and Dean & Britta) has teamed up with one-man band Cheval Sombre (aka Chris Porpora) for the collaborative album Dean Wareham Vs. Cheval Sombre and have shared a trailer for the album. It’s due out October 26 via Wareham’s Double Feature label. Below is the trailer, followed by the album’s tracklist.
