about

If you like this album the first thing you should do is "Like" the band on www.facebook.com/thisisthekit, k?

NOTE: In honor of This is the Kit's US tour in April with Plants & Animals we are doing a special Bandcamp-only pre-release of their excellent album Wriggle Out the Restless. For a limited time only you can get the album on Bandcamp for quite a steal -- only 3 buckaroos! Of course, thanks to the site's "name your price" feature you can also be more generous...

Wriggle Out the Restless originally came out in 2010 on a tiny label in the United Kingdom. Brassland will be issuing the album to the rest of the world on CD/vinyl LP/digital later in 2012. Our release will feature new cover art (which you can see right here) as well as bonus tracks & other special things.

"Absolutely gorgeous, like an aural bath with the warm water lapping over you" -- Cerys Matthews, BBC 6music

This Is The Kit is the much beloved musical project of Kate Stables, born in England and based in Paris. The "band" has opened for artists such as Jose Gonzales, Jeffrey Lewis, The National, Alexi Murdoch, and Jolie Holland, and was recently selected by Sharon Van Etten as her “Favorite New Aritst” in an interview with Pitchfork.

Kate sings, plays guitar, banjo, trumpet and percussion, while a cast of carefully hand-plucked friends deliver guitar strums, banjo plucks, hushed horns and electronic textures that sit beneath Stables’ easy, earnest lilt. Her long time collaborator and regular live companion Jesse Vernon produced the album and contributes guitars, percussion, violin and percussion. Other credits include Jim Barr on bass, Francois Marry on organ, trumpet and piano and Rozi Plain on guitar, banjo and clarinet. Gestated over a long period the album draws on This Is The Kit's many musical friends to fill out their delicate music into a full, robust sound.

"The aim was to have fun playing with people whose work I really like," says Kate. "The more you exchange and share with people the better things get and the more you learn."

Track Name: Earthquake
no body saw
nobody followed

unbeknown and never showed
how when alone oh how we glowed

never saw us at our best
two hot hearts a drinking in our chests

but too early and too late
too clumsy and too kate
too earthquake
hidden handshake
Track Name: Spinney
and it's 3 times through the spinney
and it's footprints in the snow
you've been mixing up some mischeif
you've been weaving up some woe

so we both begin to fidget
and we both begin to twitch
and so wriggle out the restless
and yes scratch at it the itch

now it's time to dig your teeth in
cause it's getting on for day
and the sun is creeping upwards
getting ready for to say

i will warm it i will melt it
it will wash it's self away
i'm a river watch me breathing
not one drop of me will stay

and it's three times through the spinney
and it's footprints in the mud
Track Name: Waterproof
and how enormously
the planets they have tugged on thee
but they do it to us all
the universe gets tough and small
so dubbin up your boots
make sure you're waterproof
and fasten up your coat
the weather it brings change
the wind it brings us change and blows

and how predictable
that it should timble in this way
and
we even saw it come
and getting closer every day
and then it lifted off the roof
no longer waterproof
the rain it tumbling in
another storm begins
another storm of love and truth

so dubbin up your boots
make sure you're waterproof
and fasten up your coat
the weather it brings change
the wind it brings us change and blows
