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 11 tracks to seven during mixing at Old Blue Studios in Los Angeles. The songs "A Constant Reminder", "Surgeon General", "Here On Earth" and "Funeral Gown" were recorded then omitted and have yet to be released.

Robert Smith of The Cure described Scarling's music as "dark, desperate, chaotic, gorgeous pop music, the sound of the end of the world" [1]
