Dimmer is a musical group from New Zealand. The driving force behind the band is Shayne Carter, a prominent New Zealand musician and member of such bands as Straitjacket Fits and Double Happys. The band have released four full length albums, "I Believe You Are A Star", "You've Got To Hear The Music", "There My Dear" and "Degrees of Existence". Carter has been the only permanent member of the band since its inception, and regularly uses other prominent musicians in the studio. "You've Got To Hear The Music" included backing vocals from Anika Moa and Bic Runga. Their third album, "There My Dear", was released on July 24, 2006 and is a return to a more rock-based sound reminiscent of Straitjacket Fits' last album "Blow".
