James Kirby's work as The Caretaker has always dealt with the
suggestion of haunted memory and the obscuring of temporal
motion, and this latest album makes that more explicit than
ever, with titles that reference amnesia, Alzheimer's, past
life regression and other such memory misfires and short
circuits. Musically, this album might be compared to Philip
Jeck's manipulated vinyl tracts, featuring similarly oceanic
swells of crackle and dust, with faded pianos or big band
sounds wafting wraith-like across the mix. After conjuring the
sinister atmospherics of The Shining with his debut album
Selected Memories From The Haunted Ballroom, The Caretaker has
been chasing this idea of sound leaving its indelible mark on
a space and time, so consequently these creepy, semi-dissolved
musical passages sound no more tangible than shadows, and the
album for the most part comes across as some sort of se'ance
held via wax cylinder. Arguably the most accomplished and
rewarding Caretaker album to date, Persistent Repetition Of
Phrases is an album you'll want to snap up fast - there's only
500 of these in circulation...Highly Recommended.
