Dead Rituals - Waste My Time, italian style dreamy post-punk
One-man project Dead Rituals released "Waste My Time"!
Dead Rituals is the solo project of Andrea Caccese based in Naples, Italy and stemmed from a flurry of sessions recorded in New York City, Melbourne, and Naples, amidst significant life changes and a few years of constant traveling, touring and playing with bands. Dead Rituals debuted in 2019 with the four-track S/T EP in which the songs captured the immediacy of punk and alternative music, while they also incorporate shoegaze textures.
On February 23rd, 202, after a number of single and cover releases Andrea Caccese released the single "Waste My Time", a song that delivers an indie pop and post-punk fusion and offers a dreamy yet invigorating listening experience. The track opens with steady, driving beat and jangly guitars, setting a buoyant yet reflective tone. The mixture of indie pop elements with a post-punk tempo and misty vocals, touching the shoegaze influences creates a soundscape dynamically changing from emotional to energetic.
The vocal performance in "Waste My Time" is compelling and emotive, while the one-man project behind Dead Rituals showcases the talent of Andrea for crafting songs that are both catchy and gripping.
Dead Rituals captures the angst of alt-rock and the appeal of indie pop through the haunting lens of shoegaze — music from a punk kid who grew up and bought too many guitar pedals! Andrea Caccese started Dead Rituals to collect adventures and songs like road journal entries. From sneaking into empty Brooklyn apartments; to hunting down old instruments in Melbourne and rattling the ancient walls of Neapolitan underground cellars, anything goes.
Dead Rituals comments on "Waste My Time": ""Waste My Time" by Dead Rituals combines post-punk angst with the atmospheric backdrop of shoegaze. A no-frills song that explores the core tenets of the genre with more urgency."
