Kate Stables’ group This Is The Kit have created a name for themselves with songs that untangle emotional knots and weave remarkable stories. Their second album for Rough Trade Records, Off Off On, is a beautifully clear distillation of Stables’ songwriting gifts. The songs are exquisitely astute, the album title suggesting life’s glitchy rhythms - “two steps backwards, one step forwards... Swinging between good places and bad places inside and out.”
