Caretaker

So,  it’s just under seven weeks until the official album launch date and we’re busy at Caretaker Towers (and Fort We Be) trying to make sure the album gets as much coverage as possible! We’ve been sending out promos to all the usual suspects and we’ve had some fantastic results so far in the first week – Sunday saw us getting a play from Ian Camfield on the XFM Rock Show, and yesterday we made our long awaited return to the Radio One Rock Show with Daniel P Carter.

If anyone fancies giving Zane Lowe, Huw Stephens or Mike Davies a nudge, feel free…

We’ve had a couple of great write ups on blogs as well, but we need your help to keep up with it all! If you seen any mention of Caretaker any where on the internet or in a magazine give us a shout. It’s not just to feed our huge egos, we like to keep our scrap books up to date, and it reassuring for our mums to know that we haven’t been wasting our lives!

We’re still booking dates throughout March and April, so we hope to see some of you very soon!

Much love x

Thanks to everyone who ordered an advance copy of “Providence” in December, we hope it fulfilled all your Christmas wishes? If you didn’t get around to buying a copy, you can still pre-order it from the shop but unfortunately you won’t be getting your mitts on it until the launch date of March 5th! Just to whet your appetite though, you can read a review at the Captain of Lies music blog.

And speaking of launching… We’re throwing a party to celebrate the release! It’s at the Unicorn in Camden on Friday 2nd of March, it’s free entry, and will be really quite awesome. Alongside Caretaker will be Silent Front, Thumpermonkey Lives! and Ternary. Miss out at your peril!

Greetings.

Welcome to the new look Caretaker website, which draws together the many facets of Caretaker’s online presence, and which also heralds the arrival of our new album. ‘Providence’ is to be released on We Be Records on 5th March 2012, but for a  limited period of time (the remainder of this year) you can pick up a copy of Providence right now from our online shop. You can listen to a track from the album, Hellion, below or on the player to the right:

A long time in the making, this record is sonically, visually and creatively the best we’ve produced to date. To celebrate this milestone, we are in the process of arranging a launch gig at our familiar Camden haunt, The Unicorn, the bill of which will doubtless feature some of our good friends who will also be familiar to many of you. More on that to come.

Thank you to everyone who has asked after the album’s progress over the past couple of years. We’re really happy with what we’ve put together (with the help of the amzing Wayne Pennell and Jamie Lenman) – hopefully you’ll feel that your patience has been rewarded. Thank you.

Caretaker. x
