Guiding the ship through changing seas is producer Rhys. Stables described his role as being a “ tonesetter,” watchful and attentive to the band dynamics while making sure to always follow a hunch for where a new sound could find its place in the recording. “I’ve always loved the idea of working with him somehow, and when this album started getting planned, I realized that maybe this was my chance to reach out and see if he was up for working together,” Stables explains. “And he was! As if that wasn’t enough, he was also up for doing a bit of singing on the record, which totally blew my mind and made my year. His way with harmony and melody and the tone and quality of his voice is a totally killer combo.”So goes the assertion of whoever wrote the press release for This Is The Kit’s latest album, yet to many listeners’ ears, what they hear may be more of the same. No amount of horns or yet another producer coming on board can alter this fact. The irony in all this is that Careful Of Your Keepers is centred around the idea of change. The album was nearly called Goodbye Bite. And in a way it still is,” says Stables. “I went for Careful of Your Keepers in the end. It’s one of my favourite songs on the album, a song that for me holds the general feeling of the album as a whole. 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.” Guiding the ship through changing seas is producer Rhys.

His way with harmony and melody and the tone and quality of his voice is a totally killer combo.” Careful Of Your Keepersis daring and soft, cutting and warm–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. “The album was nearly calledGoodbye Bite.

The album’s propulsive yet introspective lead single “Inside Outside” finds Stables as magnetic as ever, joined once again by her stalwart band of Rozi Plain(bass/vocals), Neil Smith (guitar), and Jamie Whitby-Coles (drums), and accented by a cascading horn quartet arrangement by Jesse Vernon.

This Is the Kit is the alias of British musician Kate Stables, as well as the band she fronts. [1] Critical attention [ edit ]This Is the Kit perform regularly in various configurations from duo to quintet with the core band consisting of Kate Stables (vocals / guitar / banjo), Rozi Plain (bass / vocals), Neil Smith (guitar), and Jamie Whitby-Coles (drums). [19] Regardless of how much change there happens to be in the sound and lyrics of Careful Of Your Keepers, there’s little denying the sonic appeal of the LP. “Take You To Sleep” marries a traditional acoustic-guitar-driven folk sound with harsh, atonal saxophone bleeps, the aforementioned “More Change” offers the kind of immediate melodies that would make lesser artists jealous, and “Inside Outside” takes cues from the likes of The Cure and Joni Mitchell while marrying them with Stables’ distinct musical sensibilities. The initial run of songs on the album is unparalleled, yet the magic sadly runs dry with the sleepy “This Is When The Sky Gets Big” and never quite rekindles itself. The band received a boost in attention in August 2015 when BBC iPlayer debuted an episode of the documentary series Music Box devoted to This Is The Kit's music and influences. [5] The show was hosted by Garvey, who argued that their second album, Wriggle Out the Restless, deserved a Mercury Prize nomination. [6]
