about

(This record includes references to sexual assault. Take care.)

Caretaker is a largely autobiographical record by Andy Schumann revolving around childhood experiences of being hurt and misled by adult society.

Caretaker is a reckoning with the difficult realization that we are now among that very society of adults. We've experienced pain as children, all of us, and it is now our responsibility to pave a better world for ourselves and people we love.

The songs are about the relentless pursuit of a perfect body, the utopian dream of crying with your boy friends, and revenge fantasies of destroying everyone who ever hurt you.
