Definitely one for fans of The Cure or The Verve, The Crookes' have kindly shared their new single 'I Wanna Waste My Time On You' with us at Gigwise. Check it out first below.
Calling back to the halcyon days of dancefloor indie, the Sheffield quartet are still going strong combining woozy melodies with sharp production, as was the fashion in 2008, but have maintained a freshness and vigour all these years while many of The Crookes' contemporaries expired.
This new single will feature on the band's fourth studio album entitled Lucky Ones which is out 29 January 2016. It could be the soundtrack of you giving up on your new year's resolutions, just think about that.
The video matches the levity of the track as it follows the band's fictional manager who dotes after The Crookes, looking for their affections and receiving only animosity. We don't want to ruin the ending but, suffice to say, you'll be smiling by the time the video fades to black.

Speaking on the recording of the video, Tom from the band said: "This was the most fun we’ve had filming a music video ever! Khyan had this weird concept about a doting father figure to the band whose enthusiasm goes unappreciated, and it led to lots of bizarre scenes with David washing our car, feeding us breakfast and playing Twister while we watched."
