This is The Kit – Careful Of Your Keepers PRE ORDER: 09\/06\/2023 This Is The Kit, the group led by Paris-based bandleader Kate Stables, today announced the band\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s new album Careful of Your Keepers\u00e2\u20ac\u201c produced by Gruff Rhys (Super Furry Animals)\u00e2\u20ac\u201cwill be released on June 9th, 2023, via Rough Trade Records. The album\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s propulsive yet introspective lead single \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Inside Outside\u00e2\u20ac\u009d 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. Careful Of Your Keepers is daring and soft, cutting and warm\u00e2\u20ac\u201ca wild feat of complexity and combined dispositions. There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a shared language of the band\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s 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\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 vocals to live at the forefront. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The album was nearly called Goodbye Bite . And in a way it still is,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d says Stables. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I went for Careful of Your Keepers in the end. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s 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.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Guiding the ship through changing seas is producer Rhys. Stables described his role as being a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153tonesetter,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d 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. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve 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,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Stables explains. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153And he was! As if that wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t 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.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u0153They are so ridiculously talented\u00e2\u20ac\u201cand every member is a great producer in their own right\u00e2\u20ac\u201cso it was just a matter of trying to capture the magic they make when playing live together,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Rhys says of the recording process. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Their playing is by default so thoughtful and complimentary in terms of respect to each other\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s parts and to the integrity of the songs themselves that it creates a beautiful foundation of often cosmic interplay that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s always in aid of Kate\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s voice and vision as a songwriter.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Tracklisting Goodbye Bite Inside Outside Take You To Sleep More Change This is When The Sky Gets Big Scabby Head and Legs Careful of Your Keepers Doomed Or More Doomed\u00c2\u00a0 Stuck in a Room\u00c2\u00a0 Dibs\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
