Schmotime is the debut album by indie rock band Absentee, released in 2006.

Critical reception

PopMatters wrote that "Schmotime presents a wry look at a world that's filled with people destroying themselves and each other."

Description

This debut full-length from Brit indie-country-rock quintet followed up their 2005 'Donkey Stock' mini-album. Spinning folky tales of love, loss and elegant debauchery over a backdrop of steel guitar, keyboards, harmonica, sweet backing vocals and the occasional stab of distortion, they were compared to Pavement and Tindersticks and secured a slot at 2005's cult Green Man Festival.
