the double vinyl album has sold out

On this second release we find The Caretaker building ballrooms for his tracks, and then populating them with the ghosts of aristocratic dancers of days gone by. The band is somewhere in the back while hallowed spirits wander back and forth in slow motion, never breaking stride amidst a hazy ambient atmosphere. Everythng building nicely for the final two tracks which sound almost heavenly and spiritual, recalling masters of soundtrack work such as Angelo Badalamenti. Released to immense critical acclaim.




We cannot escape the past
Cloudy, since you went away
Emptiness
Cosigned to a yesterday
Masquerade ball
Malign forces of the occult
On the edge of breakdown
Robins and Roses
Date with an angel
It's all forgotten now
Each today doesn't lead to a tomorrow
Home
Friends past re-united
A stairway to the stars
