[281] Dean Wareham - Love is Colder Than Death (7" test pressing)

Nat at Sonic Cathedral was (and still is) very good to me, so would invariably send me a test pressing of Dean’s releases on his fabulous label. This is one of them.

Dean Wareham - Love is Colder Than Death (test pressing)

This was sent to me along with my order of the single, and the test pressing of Emnacipated Hearts that I’ve posted about before.

Since I’ve written about the single here’s a few of my favourite Sonic Cathedral releases that have no (obvious) AHFoW connection

Some Sonic Cathedral gems

• The very lovely Deary have been releasing their beautiful music on Sonic Cathedral, often in lovely limited editions that I’m rarely quick enough off the ball to catch - although I have managed to catch a couple… and just remembered to fill my digital boots with the gaps. Last year’s Aurelia is as good a place to start as any.
• Gulp are Guto Pryce, of Super Furry Animals, and singer Lindsey Leven, and their first LP Season Sun was released by Sonic Cathedral in 2014.
• Red Sunset Dreams was Mark Peters (of Engineers) second solo album and is an absolute gem, His first album Innerland is also very lovely.
• Dot Allison released her 2023 album Consciousology on Sonic Cathedral - she also guests on Mark Peters Red Sunset Dreams.

There is of course so much more to love in Sonic Cathedral’s catalogue so take a look if you haven’t already.
