The same time as the rest of the music that would end up on the \u201cDon\u2019t Waste Your Time\u201d EP. Drum tracking was completed in early 2018, we were all ready to record.. &#8230;and then they sat around for 2 years. We had some free time this year and were finally able to re-approach these songs. The core arrangement structures are the same as they were written in 2017, with original drum tracks and musicians (Gabe, Sebastian, Colin) on the recordings. We even managed to track at Falcon Studios again with our old friend and D.W.Y.T. engineer, producer, mixer Gabe Johnston for an as near uniform approach to this as we had for the original EP. The end result was Don\u2019t Waste Your Time II &#8211; an expansion of the first release. Songs you should have heard 2 years ago&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/files.constantcontact.com\/16772d5d601\/ab556915-98e7-4a91-87dc-89911a43e0a8.jpg?ssl=1\" alt=\"Idle Hands Don't Waste Your Time II\u2019 EP vinyl\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Find\u00a0Idle Hands\u00a0online at <a href=\"http:\/\/r20.rs6.net\/tn.jsp?f=001hcqaQSbEF6W1f8_9ob8tpPoly-KlAxM7qVqr2RTY6yuSn8oZ_he7GXiocvXV4n_LCodGpu4vt4Y0n2wUZdO0j3wm2rxD5Y3S9rmPgfIBUybIZxWtD0kuktj7EVvTwarLWC-0UlqHM7wbGg2WTZzfLZjF0nau5nsK&amp;c=qp_czyVwxOGhB6fhL7hVJCNB4CdNqC13I8TkDTk0fe5A7pkKawl8ZA==&amp;ch=YocEZz-d5smggOB7bycfdcoWJ0xLCsy-qOV5Jjr97eqMzaUUYbHXFw==\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">IdleHandspdx.bandcamp.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Portland goth-tinged metal outfit, Idle Hands have announced the release of the&nbsp;\u2018Don&#8217;t Waste Your Time II\u2019 EP.&nbsp;Expanding on the band&#8217;s 2017 EP release&nbsp;\u2018Don&#8217;t Waste Your <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"http:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=34625\" title=\"Idle Hands announce new EP \u2018Don\u2019t Waste Your Time II\u2019 + share two new tracks\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":34626,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"Idle Hands announce new EP \u2018Don\u2019t Waste Your Time II\u2019 + share two new tracks @idlehands","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[22,23,28,30],"tags":[9371,438,9373,9374,9375],"class_list":["post-34625","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-guitar-rock","category-indie","category-music","category-new-release","tag-dont-waste-your-time-ii","tag-ep","tag-idle-hands","tag-it-doesnt-really-matter","tag-puppy-love"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/A30A1EDD-E53C-4528-9729-FE81EBFC745F.jpeg?fit=1200%2C800","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2B2TV-90t","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":37978,"url":"http:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=37978","url_meta":{"origin":34625,"position":0},"title":"Dumb Numbers (and) Melvins release \u2018Broken Pipe\u2019 EP","author":"cultureaddicts","date":"April 19, 2022","format":false,"excerpt":"Dumb Numbers and the Melvins join forces for an unusual release - a three-song single, dubbed the\u00a0\u2018Broken Pipe\u2019\u00a0EP (April 29, Joyful Noise Recordings), which arrives via a sawblade-shaped, limited-edition vinyl 12\u201d.
