Spells

Dear Time's Waste finally release their highly-anticipated debut album, 'Spells'. The brainchild of New Zealander Claire Duncan, Dear Time's Waste cast 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, 'Spells' sees Dear Time's Waste take a side steptowards 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, 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.

Following the success of the 'Room For Rent' EP, 'Spells' features the singles "Blue & Gold" and alternative radio hit "These Words Stick Me To You".
