An empty bliss beyond this World

by The Caretaker

supported by

jayjayboi This album just feels like the joy of remembering and being able to look back fondly on memories before confusion settles in, comforting yet… a bit scary. Favorite track: Libet's delay.

Gonçalo Absolutely beautiful album. In those depressing and sad days it’s like being comforted by someone that feels like home yet you’re more lonely than you’ve ever been. Favorite track: An empty bliss beyond this World.

eomex Such a beautiful album, it prioritizes the use of Pianos over anything else. Truly a beautiful release and one of my favorite's. Favorite track: The great hidden sea of the unconscious.

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.

Great for studying, reading, and thinking. It's like looking out of the window on a rainy day, somewhere far away in the countryside. Calming, lonely, and beautiful. Hakr0Cat
