Album art via The Caretaker's bandcamp page
Electronic musician James Leyland Kirby is giving one of his aliases, The Caretaker, an extended farewell. According to record retailer Boomkat, the artist's The Shining-inspired project will be sent on its "final journey" via a series of six album releases over the next three years, each edition exploring the stages of early onset dementia.Per the official Boomkat write-up, the series "aims to enlighten our understanding of dementia by breaking it down into a series of stages that provide a haunting guide to its progression, deterioration and disintegration and the way that people experience it according to a range of impending factors."The first installment, titled Everywhere at the End of Time, was released today. Containing 12 nostalgically-titled tracks (examples include "We Don't Have Many Days" and "It's Just a Burning Memory") of just slightly fuzzy, wistful ballroom music that sound like a dusty, decades-old vinyl picked up and given a spin, it's described as the series' "most lucid," as future editions will supposedly erode as they progress. The next two installments are due to arrive in 2017, followed by two more in 2018 and the finale in 2019.Watch a 41-minute video of Everywhere at the End of Time below.
