About The Caretaker

The Caretaker is a long-running project by electronic musician James Leyland Kirby, who also records as V/Vm. His work under the Caretaker moniker has been characterised as driven by empathy as well as imagination, exploring memory, loss, nostalgia and what it means to exist as a human being through music and sound. Initially the project was inspired by the haunted ballroom scene in the 1980 film The Shining, with his first several releases consisting of treated and manipulated samples of '30s ballroom pop recordings. His works have received critical acclaim in publications such as The Wire, BBC Music and The Guardian. Leyland Kirby’s final epic work under this moniker is a six-part album sonically documenting a descent into dementia.
