NICK LENG WASTE MY TIME

‘Waste My Time’ comes just after Nick Leng turned heads around the world with his debut album, LEMONS. The track is built around clattering percussion samples, deep synths and a heavily manipulated vocal sample simply stating: ‘I love it when you waste my time’. The simple video is shot in a slice of lifestyle that follows Nick Leng through a normal day, doing normal things. It challenges the idea of a traditional, choreographed and pre-planned music video, while also allowing a window into the life of a skilled composer. He explains that “Avery brought her little VHS camera and some polaroid film and we just hung out and shot. She wanted a simple organic portrait of me in my space so we moved throughout my favourite nooks and areas of the house and its neighbourhood--now a little memento. A moment in time I am so glad we captured”. - Dan Peeke
