LTM are proud to announce the debut album by The Occasional Keepers, an ongoing collaboration between Bobby Wratten (Field Mice/Northern Picture Library/Trembling Blue Stars) and Carolyn Allen and Caesar (The Wake). The album features a meditative, beautiful and minimalist mix of guitars, keyboards, echoing drums and male and female vocals, set against the background hummings of real places and real times these sections recorded by Bobby prior to the sessions. The songs incorporate a variety of styles, to produce a highly personal synthesis of neo-folk, experimental pop, dissonance, electronics and improvisation. The Beauty of the Empty Vessel was produced by the Keepers with Ian Catt (St Etienne) in London in April 2005. Stand out tracks include The Bracken and The Last Lighthouse Keeper. 2005.
