Bashed Out: Limited Eco-Vinyl LP

This Is The Kit (TITK) is the much beloved musical project of Kate Stables, born in England and based in Paris. Bashed Out was produced Aaron Dessner, a member of The National known for both minting indie icons (Sharon Van Etten, Local Natives) and, more recently, becoming a produc[1]er to stars like Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran. The backing band gathered for Bashed Out combines the talents of TITKs 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 LPs inital release Kate made significant contributions to The Nationals 2019 album/film I Am Easy To Find and became a touring mem[1]ber on subsequent live dates. In 2020, Bashed Outs title track became a streaming hit after an impactful needle drop in a key episode of Netflixs Sex Education series.

This music is honest, human and humanea folky-lovely slow-rumble. Its rock but of the groovy, hangover-friendly, stoner variety. Stabless voice hearkens back to the singer-songwriter eraher distinctive, cutting vocals up front in the mix. The Line of Best Fit has the band an essential fixture of British folk music for the past 10 yearsone of a handful of truly innovate songwriters working with the British folk template today.
