This Is The Kit by Cedric Oberlin
It’s the final preview of the new This Is The Kit album.
This Is The Kit have shared Stuck In A Room ahead of their new album Careful Of Your Keepers‘ release via Rough Trade this coming Friday, June 9th.
It’s not so much about being stuck in a literal room (although I suppose it is a bit) but more about getting stuck in the imaginary restrictive rooms we create for ourselves. The behavioural patterns that aren’t always very helpful to us. The loops we go round and round in. The way we deal with what other people expect of us. That sort of thing.
An appearance at Black Deer later this month, meanwhile, will lead into more UK festivals during July ahead of a lengthy North American tour in the autumn.
