“‘Bashed Out’... will also likely be her breakout... get ready to
hear a lot more from her.” - Stereogum

 This Is The Kit is the much beloved musical project of Kate
Stables, born in England and based in Paris. ‘Bashed Out’ was
produced by Aaron Dessner, a member of The National known for
both minting indie icons (Sharon Van Etten, Local Natives) and,
more recently, becoming a producer to stars like Taylor Swift
and Ed Sheeran. Dessner’s former client Sharon Van Etten
called This Is The Kit her “favorite new artist” in Pitchfork.

 The backing band gathered for ‘Bashed Out’ combines the
talents of This Is The Kit’s touring members alongside session
players drawn from the Brooklyn music scene: Bryce Dessner,
Thomas Bartlett (Doveman, The Gloaming), Matt Barrick (The
Walkmen) and Ben Lanz (Beirut, The National) made key
contributions.

 Since this LP’s initial release Kate made significant
contributions to The National’s 2019 album/film ‘I Am Easy To
Find’ and became a touring member on subsequent live dates.
In 2020, ‘Bashed Out’’s title track became a streaming hit after
an impactful needle drop in a key episode of Netflix’s ‘Sex
Education’ series.

 This music is honest, human and humane - a folky-lovely slow-
rumble. It’s rock but of the groovy, hangover-friendly, stoner
variety. Stables’ voice hearkens back to the singer-songwriter
era - her distinctive, cutting vocals up front in the mix.

 The Line of Best Fit has the band as an “essential fixture of
British folk music for the past 10 years... one of a handful of
truly innovate songwriters working with the British folk template
today.”

 For fans of Joni Mitchell, Bon Iver, Sharon Van Etten, Father
John Misty, Gillian Welch, Laura Marling, Natalie Prass, Jose
Gonzalez.

 This is the first time ‘Bashed Out’ has been widely available on
vinyl since 2019.

 ‘Green Eyed Muddy Puddle’ eco-vinyl variant.
