The Weight Of Gold

Far beyond the breach,
Behind redundant canine teeth,
Behind the party rhetoric,
Behind the squalor of,
Molars,
Collar,
Larynx,
And tongue,
There lies a net,
Of weaved resentment and regret,
Of opportunity rebuked.
Of cynicism,
Forcing a,
Schism,
Of belly and heart.
And through this drain, of clogged up innocence and pain,
There, squeezes every single word,
There, squeezes:
"Never, never, never, never, again"
And every word, erupts distorted and absurd,
With that distinctive stagnant smell,
Of lying.


Blowing off the dust,
Of an undomesticated lust,
I hear the roar of unfulfilments engine.
As familiar
As a lover's behind.
Beyond the breach,
Behind the rows of crooked teeth,
There is a pilot light,
Like Lucifer.
Still burning;
Brow discerning,
But eager.
Despite the glib trajectory,
Of this forsaken industry,
I'm wading through the corpses
Just to try and climb aboard,
A ship that I've already left.
But in the chasm of my chest, my lungs are,
Panting, masochistic,
Pulling me aboard once more.

Aboard

Watching Dead Empires in Decay’, an album recorded under another of Kirby’s pseudonyms ‘The Stranger’ and released on Modern Love, a label that has been close to Kirby through these last eventful 15 years. It’s a dream album for the label: perhaps the most ambitious of Kirby’s career so far. It’s complex, singular, enigmatic, percussive, dark, and you just can’t work out how it was constructed.

Gone are the sampled 78’s of The Caretaker, but it also doesn't exactly sound electronic - you just can’t quite fathom how any of it was put together: Field Recordings? Found Sounds? Sheets of metal scraped and hammered? Drum machines re-wired? It’s stark and unsettling, haunted, even troubling - but often just beautiful.

Miarches

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.

01 - All you are going to want to do is get back there

02 - Moments of sufficient lucidity

03 - The great hidden sea of the unconscious

04 - Libet's delay

05 - I feel as if I might be vanishing

15 - The sublime is disappointingly elusive

The Caretaker returns with a long-in-the-making soundtrack to acclaimed filmmaker Grant Gee's documentary about German writer WG Sebald. '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'. The source material for 'Patience' was sourced from Franz Schubert's 1827 piece 'Winterreise' and subjected to his 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.

10 - Increasingly absorbed

11 - Isolated lights
