CD Description Limited Edition of 3,000, 12 page booklet with liner notes by Dean Wareham and still images from films by Andy Warhol. This project was initially commissioned by the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh. Dean & Britta created 13 songs and instrumentals to perform live in a multimedia show, with Andy Warhol's Screen Tests projected on a large screen above the band as they play. The screen tests are short, silent portrait films made by Warhol at the Factory between 1964 and 1966 -- of actors, dancers, artists, and Factory regulars. Each film is 4:15 in length. Dean & Britta selected 13 subjects (including Dennis Hopper, Nico, Lou Reed) and recorded 8 songs and 5 instrumentals for them. These are original studio recordings, produced by Dean & Britta, with additional remixes by Scott Hardkiss, Sonic Boom (MGMT, Spacemen 3) and My Robot Friend. Songs are a mix of originals and covers including Bob Dylan's I'll Keep It With Mine and the Velvet Underground's Not a Young Man Anymore. Dean & Britta have been touring 13 Most Beautiful for 18 months, have now played 50 shows around the world, from the Sydney Opera House to Lincoln Center, NYC to a 15th-century cathedral in Paris. Additional 13 Most Beautiful shows are now booked into 2011, with dates in Bilbao, London, Dresden, Mulhouse, Saint Brieuc, Paris, Indianapolis, Cleveland and New York. In addition Dean & Britta will be performing in London at the Barbican on July 30.
