October 23 street date. This is The Kit are pleased to announce their new album ‘Off Off On’. Since 2008's debut album "Krulle Bol", This Is The Kit (led by Kate Stables) have unpicked emotional knots and woven remarkable stories, but even by their high standards, "Off Off On" is a beautifully clear distillation of Stables' song-writing gifts. By the end of 2018, the band had finished touring their last album, the talismanic "Moonshine Freeze" - leading to Kate's Ivor Novello nomination, but when it came to Stables' natural impulse to start the next record, her efforts were diverted by an invitation to join The National on the road for multiple tours and TV appearances - a continuation of the role she took on their album "I Am Easy To Find". Richly illuminating and acutely sensitive to the pulses and currents of life, "Off Off On" shows This Is The Kit overflowing with ideas. In difficult times, it's a record that feels like a lifeline, moving against the tide, standing against the storm. Keep going.

June 9 street date. This Is The Kit, the group led by Paris-based bandleader Kate Stables, return with their wondrous new album, "Careful Of Your Keepers", produced by Gruff Rhys (Super Furry Animals). The album is daring and soft, cutting and warm, and a wild feat of complexity and combined dispositions. There's a shared language of the band's family experience that is as audible as ever in these recordings, which boast beautiful instrumental performances that still leave the nuanced space required for Stables' vocals to live at the forefront. "Careful Of Your Keepers", according to Stables, is rooted in "the fragility of things. Of situations. Of relationships. Of humans. What we do to look after each other and ourselves. The passing of time and what that does to us, and how we live our lives going forward".
