Inside outside (This is the Kit) (LP 4641)

This Is the Kit  Careful of Your Keepers (Vinyl, Rough Trade Records, 2023) ***  

Genre: Folk rock, alt rock

Places I remember: JB Hi Fi

Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Goodbye Bite

Gear costume: This Is When the Sky Gets Big

They loom large in his legend (The Album Collection playlists): Part 1; Part 2; Part 3; Part 4; Part 5; Part 6; Part 7

Active compensatory factors: This Is the Kit is a tad confusing, being the alias for British musician Kate Stables, and also the name of the band she leads.

Careful of Your Keepers is the band's sixth studio album. I picked up a copy for $5 from JB Hi Fi in Palmerston North - mainly because I liked the cover and what I read in the quick check of reviews while I was in store. 

I'm not quite sure what to make of the record really. I tend to like alt folk rock stylings but the pace of the songs and the jittery music from This Is the Kit holds me at arm's length too much for my wholehearted liking.

Where do they all belong? I still love the shoegaze cover and I'm prepared to give this a few more goes around.
