That slowly oscillating synth at the start is a red herring, soon obvious as the steamrolling words break the serenity as they had always intended. Now this is vitriol, but well placed because it catalogues a lifetime of abuse and the dying of the only refuge there was. ‘Caretaker’ is tumultuous listen, at times even transcendental thanks to the euphoric brass (trumpets/flugelhorn/sax). By the finish we’re facing an Eminem meets Rage Against The Machine style incendiary, those screams are primeval which is completely understandable given the circumstance. Such a richly important record from this Seattle artist. KH
