Dear Times Waste is proud to announce the release of their debut album Spells on October 18^th.

The album features the singles ‘Blue & Gold’ and current alternative radio hit ‘These Words Stick Me To You’.

Dear Times Waste is the brainchild of New Zealander Claire Duncan. The debut albumcasts shapes in the shadows of film music, with a healthy appetite for Lynch and the spaghetti western hauntings of composer Ennio Morricone.

Drawing from the water coloured wash of 2009's reputed EP Room for Rent, Dear Time's Waste takes a side step towards a soundtrack embedded with a multitude of voices, oscillating between a raw whisper and an Elvis impersonation; a suburban street and a spot-lit stage. Private moments are shattered by clatters of bells, as harsh light disguises a familiar face.

A live act charged with a formidable intensity and a quiet charm, Dear Time's Waste has played alongside artists such as Deerhunter, Woelv, Connan Mockasin and Cut Off Your Hands among others, impressing local audiences at New Zealand’s first ever Laneway Festival. A Dear Time's Waste performance is invested with a gauzed tension, slipping from layered post-rock into clean guitar pop with barely a word. Not to be missed, this will be captured at the following album release shows.

Monday 18^th October (supporting Low) – Kings Arms, Auckland
