The band have released three full length albums, "I Believe You Are A Star" and "You've Got To Hear The Music". Dimmer released their third album, "There My Dear", on July 24th 2006. The new album is a return to a more rock-based sound reminiscent of Straitjacket Fits' last album "Blow".

"You've Got To Hear The Music" included backing vocals from Anika Moa and Bic Runga.
