The Crookes Premiere Video For "I Wanna Waste My Time On You"

October 20, 2015

Gigwise premiered the brand new video for The Crookes' latest single, "I Wanna Waste My Time On You." The song comes from the band's forthcoming new album, Lucky Ones, to be released on January 29.

In the premiere, Gigwise states: "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.

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."
