Troy King’s new album, Time Wasters Soundtrack to Current Day Meanderings, is an instrumental ‘soundtrack’ — with a dreamy ambient vibe.

‘Time Wasters was a response to a lot of soundtrack work I’d been doing around the time, short film, tv and feature film score work. I’ve always been intrigued by the way music can accentuate a tone, a mood or a feeling in a film and more often than not without vocals. I suppose it did help that I was listening to a lot of Surprise Chef, Skinshape, Hermanos Gutierrez, Khruangbin and foreign language music — it just kinda worked its way into my songs.
An instrumental album was never really on the cards at the beginning of the 10/10/10 journey but...
...I thought what better way to rejuvenate the creative spices than to just stop singing and let the music speak for itself.’
