    Awesome so glad I snagged a copy from Boomkat. This is a pleasant surprise. Vinyl is the only way to experience the music of the Caretaker.

      I think this is one of the best things Leyland Kirby has made.

        I swear I can hear some snippets of the last track on stage 5 of Everywhere at the end of time...

              Now almost a decade old, this 2012 album is the soundtrack to acclaimed filmmaker Grant Gee's documentary about German writer WG Sebald. It’s been out of print since 2013 and remains a lesser known gem in The Caretaker catalogue.

              'Patience (After Sebald)' is a multi-layered film essay on landscape, art, history, life and loss - an exploration of the work and influence of German writer WG Sebald (1944-2001), told via a long walk through coastal East Anglia tracking his most famous book 'The Rings Of Saturn'. Much like The Caretaker's oeuvre, Sebald's works are particularly focused on themes of memory, both personal and collective, making Kirby the ideal candidate for the score.

              Rather than thrift shop shellac, the source material for 'Patience' was sourced from Franz Schubert's 1827 piece 'Winterreise' and subjected to The Car perplexing processes, smudging and rubbing isolated fragments into a dust-caked haze of plangent keys, strangely resolved loops and de-pitched vocals which recede from view as eerily as they appear.

                This is ridiculous, while there are plenty of copies at a regular price in Boomkat, there's already one copy for sell at 80 euros. Don't overpay for this, don't feed the sharks!!

                  James Kirby has confirmed a vinyl repress on his latest email, alongside An Empty Bliss...

                  Update: it's out now! Only 500 copies, get one while they last
