The Crystal Casino Band – “Waste My Time”
“Waste My Time” is a stellar single from The Crystal Casino Band, exceling with a spirited rock sound. Sparse guitars and developing vocals build to a consuming “I don’t mind if you waste my time,” lead-in. The wordless vocal touch thereafter, combining with vibrant guitar lines, reminds fondly of The Pixies. The “waste my time,” hook appears again with added guitar vibrancy the second go-round, with the shimmering, hooky transition at 01:45 glowing with utter delight. A fun guitar solo, in a ’90s power-pop vein, emerges thereafter. “Waste My Time” is a fun, melodic ride from start to finish.
Band description of the track below:
“This slow-burn track provides raw lyrics that allow the listener to imagine themselves in a conflicted friends with benefits relationship, i.e., “Just friends, the friends who undress, the friends with loose ends who kiss your neck.” Rest assured, this track will not waste your time.”
