He's put up the 5th part of this project -- the 6th is due in March 2019 If you don't know about this, this project is based on the idea of dementia; it is based on treated loops of old 78 RPM dancehall records. Over the course of 5 hours (so far), the tracks become more fractured and murky. It plays the physical deterioration of old 78 RPM records against the mental deterioration of a person with dementia. It feels like a compassionate work somehow. There's a warmth and sweetness to the tracks, even as they get really disorganized and chaotic towards the end. Having spent time with relatives experiencing dementia, they feel honest. 20 years ago, Kirby was a snotty punk out to burn bridges and take the piss out of everybody and everything. This is a mature work, which explores a more thoughtful and honest approach to degradation and destruction. I've actually put it on at work and listened to it beginning to end while working, and it manages to be soothing and devastating at the same time. https://thecaretaker.bandcamp.com/album/everywhere-at-the-end-of-time
