Dimmer released their third album, "There My Dear", on July 24, 2006. The album is a return to a more rock-based sound reminiscent of Straitjacket Fits' last album "Blow". 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.
