This Is The Kit Announces New Album ‘Off Off On’ & Shares Single

This Is The Kit (Kate Stables) will release a new album, Off Off On, through Rough Trade Records on October 23. A video for the record’s lead single, “This Is What You Did,” is available below.

The 11-track Off Off On serves as the follow-to 2017’s, Moonshine Freeze. The new record was produced by Josh Kaufman, who met Stables while working on a cover of Osibisa’s “Woyaya” with Kaufman’s Bonny Light Horseman band mate Anaïs Mitchell and again at 37d03d residencies held in Brooklyn and Berlin.

“We were on the same page about a lot of musical ideas, as well as doing things I wouldn’t do musically,” Stables said of working with Kaufman. “It was a lovely mixture of ‘you’re exactly in my brain and exactly at the opposite end of my brain.’”

Also contributing to Off Off On were bassist Rozi Plain, guitarist Neil Smith, guitarist/keyboardist Jesse D. Vernon and drummer Jamie Whitby-Coles. Recording sessions were held at Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios in England and completed, “just in time for everyone to get home for lockdown.”

Directed by James Slater, the video for “This Is What You Did” can be viewed here:
