This Is The Kit announce new album Careful of Your Keepers with lead single "Inside Outside"

On "Inside Outside", bandleader Kate Stables is joined by Rozi Plain(bass/vocals), Neil Smith (guitar), and Jamie Whitby-Coles (drums), with a horn quartet arrangement by Jesse Vernon.

Reflecting on the song's lyrics, Stables says: “What makes things happen? How much choice do we have? Electricity and chemistry that is out of our control? Chewing. Choosing. Internal forces or external ones? Do we just behave the way people expect us to behave? Or do they pre-empt what's happening? Before it's happened? Because they can see it in us before we know it ourselves? Big change that has been brewing for longer than we realise. Were we just ignoring it? Was it so deeply buried? Or did we see it all along but chose to ignore it? How much does anything change? Or is it just the way we see it that changes?”

Careful of Your Keepers will be This Is The Kit's first full-length release since 2020's Off Off On and it was produced by Gruff Rhys (Super Furry Animals).

“The album was nearly called Goodbye Bite. And in a way it still is,” says Stables. “I went for Careful of Your Keepers in the end. It’s 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.”
