Since 2008�s debut album Kr�lle Bol, This Is The Kit (lead by Kate Stables) have unpicked emotional knots and woven remarkable stories, but even by their high standards, Off Off On is a beautifully clear distillation of Stables� song-writing gifts. By the end of 2018, the band had finished touring their last album, the talismanic Moonshine Freeze � leading to Kate�s Ivor Novello nomination, but when it came to Stables� natural impulse to start the next record, her efforts were diverted by an invitation to join The National on the road for multiple tours and TV appearances � a continuation of the role she took on their album I Am Easy To Find. �It was so brilliant when I was writing to be away from my songs and the responsibility of being in charge of a band or a project � I think it really helped my writing and my getting through whatever I needed to get through.� Richly illuminating and acutely sensitive to the pulses and currents of life, Off Off On shows This Is The Kit overflowing with ideas. In difficult times, it�s a record that feels like a lifeline, moving against the tide, standing against the storm. Keep going.
