Sweet Heart Dealer is the debut album by the rock band Scarling., released on February 17 2004. Originally scheduled for release as Butcherbourne, the album was retitled at the last minute, and pared down from 12 or 13 tracks to seven during mixing at Old Blue Studios in Los Angeles.

The album was born from singer Jessicka's "melancholy unconscious private moments", her experiments with hallucinogenic drugs in the period immediately prior to the band's formation, and from various outside sources: "Crispin Glover" apparently makes a parable, about the concealment and internalization of violence, of the 1986 film River's Edge; while "Alexander the Burn Victim" centers on conflicting emotions concerning the loss of a loved one, and was inspired by the September 11, 2001 attacks.

Track listing

"The Last Day I Was Happy" – 3:49
"Band Aid Covers the Bullet Hole" – 3:26
"Crispin Glover" – 3:18
"Alexander the Burn Victim" – 6:00
"Baby Dracula" – 3:54
"Black Horse Riding Star" – 5:31
"Can't (Halloween Valentine)" – 7:21
