AEBBTW fait parti de mes albums préférés de tous les temps, mêlant la beauté des souvenirs de jeunesse et la réalité de la confusion qui, lentement, s'installe dans la vie d'une personne atteinte de démence.
Pour ceux qui veulent entrer dans l'univers de The Caretaker, c'est certainement la porte d'entrée vers sa musique avec le premier stage de EATEOT. Favorite track: Tiny gradiations of loss.

the_nihilist_polar_bear This is the first album I've listened to from The Caretaker and it's really great. There's something extremely special in how striking and emotional it is while not being explicitly about anything (except its concept) Favorite track: Camaraderie at arms length.

about

The Caretaker conjures a quieter, more introspective spirit, lost in his own mind amidst a low-lit labyrinth of ever-decaying and antediluvian shellac phrases. Sourced from a mysterious collection of 78s, these vague snippets of archaic sonics reflect the ability of Alzheimers patients to recall the songs of their past, and with them recollections of places, people, moods and sensations.
