# The Caretaker has got Patience (After Sebald)
**The Caretaker**, aka **Leyland Kirby** will release his next album, a
soundtrack to a documentary film called *Patience (After Sebald)*, next
month. The film which is described as a "multi-layered film essay" is
based on German author **WG Sebald** and his novel *Rings of Saturn*.
Directed by **Grant Gee** an Englishman who previously made the
**Radiohead** documentary *Meeting People Is Easy* the film was released
in 2011. For the soundtrack, which comes out at the end of January,
Kirby was provided with 90 year old recordings by Franz Schubert in
order to create the music which is in the heavily warped, distorted and
treated style of The Caretaker. If you don't know his work, the album
*An Empty Bliss Beyond This World* is a good place to start. You can
stream it [here][1]{: target="_blank"}.
History Always Favours The Winners will release Patience (After Sebald)
on January 23rd, 2012.
