The Waking Hour is the only album by English band Dalis Car, the side project of Peter Murphy of Bauhaus and Mick Karn of Japan. It was released in November 1984 by record label Paradox, which was created specifically to release the record (it was later reissued on Beggars Banquet).
The album's cover is the painting Daybreak by Maxfield Parrish.
Trouser Press wrote: "As a mellifluous noise, The Waking Hour is fine, if a bit heavy on the bass; dig any deeper, however, and what you get is a hollow attempt to create art without any redeeming artistry."
Fact magazine included it in their list "20 best goth records ever made".
All tracks written by Mick Karn and Peter Murphy, except as indicated.
