Careful Of Your Keepers is daring and soft, cutting and warm–a wild feat of complexity and combined dispositions. There’s a shared language of the band’s 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’ vocals to live at the forefront. “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.” 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?

On The Go

This Is The Kit, the group led by Paris-based bandleader Kate Stables, today announced the band’s new album Careful of Your Keepers –produced by Gruff Rhys (Super Furry Animals)–will be released on June 9th, 2023, via Rough Trade Records. The album’s propulsive yet introspective lead single “Inside Outside” 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.

She bends music to her will, creating and refining contexts almost at will. With Careful of Your Keepers, she has created her own magic lantern, ever changeable, ever intriguing. This is the Kit are not a band of the moment; they own the moment.

It'd be a pointless compartmentalising exercise to still call This Is The Kit a "folk" band". The Line of Best Fit . Retrieved 26 February 2020. Regardless of how much change there happens to be in the sound and lyrics of Careful Of Your Keepers, there’s little denying the sonic appeal of the LP. “Take You To Sleep” marries a traditional acoustic-guitar-driven folk sound with harsh, atonal saxophone bleeps, the aforementioned “More Change” offers the kind of immediate melodies that would make lesser artists jealous, and “Inside Outside” takes cues from the likes of The Cure and Joni Mitchell while marrying them with Stables’ distinct musical sensibilities. The initial run of songs on the album is unparalleled, yet the magic sadly runs dry with the sleepy “This Is When The Sky Gets Big” and never quite rekindles itself.
