Dessner’s former client Sharon Van Etten called This Is The Kit her “favorite new artist” in Pitchfork.\u003cbr\u003e The backing band gathered for ‘Bashed Out’ combines the talents of This Is The Kit’s touring members alongside session players drawn from the Brooklyn music scene: Bryce Dessner, Thomas Bartlett (Doveman, The Gloaming), Matt Barrick (The Walkmen) and Ben Lanz (Beirut, The National) made key contributions.\u003cbr\u003e Since this LP’s initial release Kate made significant contributions to The National’s 2019 album\/film ‘I Am Easy To Find’ and became a touring member on subsequent live dates. In 2020, ‘Bashed Out’’s title track became a streaming hit after an impactful needle drop in a key episode of Netflix’s ‘Sex Education’ series.\u003cbr\u003e This music is honest, human and humane - a folky-lovely slow-rumble. It’s rock but of the groovy, hangover-friendly, stoner variety. Stables’ voice hearkens back to the singer-songwriter era - her distinctive, cutting vocals up front in the mix.\u003cbr\u003e The Line of Best Fit has the band as an “essential fixture of British folk music for the past 10 years… one of a handful of truly innovate songwriters working with the British folk template today.”\u003cbr\u003e For fans of Joni Mitchell, Bon Iver, Sharon Van Etten, Father John Misty, Gillian Welch, Laura Marling, Natalie Prass, Jose Gonzalez.\u003cbr\u003e This is the first time ‘Bashed Out’ has been widely available on vinyl since 2019.\u003cbr\u003e ‘Green Eyed Muddy Puddle’ eco-vinyl variant.\u003cbr\u003e Heavy touring in UK, Europe and North American to support the June 2023 release on Rough Trade, ‘Careful Of Your Keepers’.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTracklisting\u003cbr\u003eMisunderstanding\u003cbr\u003eSilver John\u003cbr\u003eSpores All Settling\u003cbr\u003eMagic Spell\u003cbr\u003eBashed Out\u003cbr\u003eAll In Cahoots\u003cbr\u003eNits\u003cbr\u003eVitamins\u003cbr\u003eWe Are In\u003cbr\u003eCold and Got Colder\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brassland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42743139205276,"sku":"HWY044LP","price":28.51,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/1_618c5ea5-71cb-4142-8348-3927b8e291fb.png?v=1697577835"},{"product_id":"this-is-the-kit-wriggle-out-the-restless-transparent-orange-coloured-vinyl","title":"This Is the Kit - Wriggle Out the Restless [Transparent orange coloured vinyl]","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFormat: LP\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCatalogue No.: HWY026\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBarcode: 0632662457610\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRelease Date: 10 Nov 2023\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGenre: Indie\/Alternative\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e This Is The Kit is the project of Kate Stables, born in England and based in Paris. They first gained notice due to heavy radio play on BBC 6 - and have twice had LPs named to 6 Music’s Album Of The Year lists. Later they gained more notice as a hand-picked opening act for The National, Iron \u0026amp; Wine, Jose Gonzalez, Sharon Van Etten and Alexi Murdoch - musicians who share a similar independent streak and warm-hearted approach to creating modern yet timeless music. In North America, they are regulars on US Triple A radio stations like KEXP, indie folk festival line-ups, and tastemaking platforms such as NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert.\u003cbr\u003e In the years since ‘Wriggle Out the Restless’ was released in 2010, This Is The Kit have continued to gain momentum. Their 2015 follow-up album, ‘Bashed Out’, was made with The National’s Aaron Dessner (producer for Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Mumford \u0026amp; Sons). Stables then sang on The National’s 2019 album\/film ‘I Am Easy To Find’ and became a touring member on subsequent live dates. Finally, in 2020, ‘Bashed Out’’s title track became a streaming hit after an impactful needle drop in a key episode of Netflix’s ‘Sex Education’ series.\u003cbr\u003e Currently signed to the iconic Rough Trade label, they’ve found success on both sides of the Atlantic.
