Details
  • Singer Dean Wareham used to front Galaxie 500 until he dissolved the band in 1991.
  • Penthouse is Luna's third album and Dean Wareham was 32 at the time of release.

  • "We were part of that record industry paradigm in the ‘90s where everyone was buying CDs and there was so much money in it, so we were getting so much money to make records. So their philosophy was that they didn’t care if we sold 100,000 records. We’d have had to sold 10 times that for them to take us seriously.

    Certainly that’s true for back then. You had to have a proper studio with proper equipment. There wasn’t any other way to do it. Penthouse is a perfect example of that. In terms of sonic character and the fact that it’s a very well-recorded and well-mixed record. But you had to spend some money. There was no way around it." (Dean Wareham talking to Under the Radar Magazine)
