This Is The Kit's background

In 2006, while still mostly unknown, This Is The Kit contributed to a folk compilation album, Folk Off, alongside genre superstars Sufjan Stevens and Animal Collective. The chosen song, "Two Wooden Spoons," received high praise and successfully introduced the band to a broader audience.

In 2010, This Is The Kit's second album, Wriggle Out the Restless, caught the attention of The National's Aaron Dessner - he signed the band to his label and invited them to open for his own band in New York in 2011. Later, Dessner also produced Bashed Out, This Is The Kit's third album.

Over the years, This Is the Kit has supported many other acts, including Jose Gonzalez and Iron and Wine.

This Is The Kit's career milestones

In 2015, the BBC Music documentary series Music Box released an episode showcasing This Is The Kit, giving the band the biggest boost in exposure it had yet received. The episode featured Kate Stables joining host Guy Garvey at his house, where they drank beer and discussed music. Stables later played one of her songs for the host in his private studio.

In the spring of 2017, after recording two albums with Brassland Records, This Is The Kit announced a new deal with London-based Rough Trade Records. With this move, they joined the ranks of The Smiths, Morrissey and Arcade Fire, as artists signed by one of the UK's most legendary independent record labels.
