a week’s residency at the pioneer works in BrooklynÂ
travels with two pinhole cameras. new york. april 2019
been on tour with the national for a month and decided to document my travels with pinhole photography. here’s the batch i took in LA
last june i had the honour and absolute pleasure of recording a cover of “Woyaya” by Osibisa with these rascals.
 and it’s now out...

This Is the Kit will be playing Boston Calling Music Festival this May! Tickets on sale now!Â
and tickets are here...... www.bostoncalling.com/tickets
Effortless storytelling is at the heart of This Is The Kit. And the stories the band's only permanent member, Kate Stables, weaves are profound but sweet with a tone that quietly reels you in.
here’s where you can watch our tiny desk concert. recorded while we were over in the states on tour with The National at the end of 2017. thanks Bob!
a week in berlin
and then a weekend at the Philharmonie de Paris ran seamlessly into a week’s residency in Berlin. Hosted by the Michelberger Hotel and taking place in the old GDR Funkhaus.
Basically it was nearly 100 artists all coming together and seeing what sort of projects and collaborations would bubble out of a week’s residency in a setting of amazingly built buildings/sound recording rooms/collection of studios/old abandoned rooms and halls.
...and all the while this was being closely and carefully observed by a team of incredible super brains who were slotting it all into some kind of schedule of activities everyday, and then finally, a program of events for the weekend, when the Funkhaus would be open to the public and everyone would be able to come and see the fruits of the weeks labours and exchanges. Needless to say the results were rather astounding.
Such generosity and openness of spirit, and executed with such grace and consideration. What privilege and luck to have spent a week not only participating but also witnessing all this and learning and learning and learning so much about myself and others and the creative process and the human voice and the idea of community and let us not forget hospitality!
so a huge thank you to all who made this past week in berlin possible. here are some pictures of what went on....

and now that autumn is upon us
what a time we’ve been having of late. i feel i should write a bit about what’s been going on in the cosmos of thisisthekit. so here goes...
a truly splendid summer of festival shows ran smoothly into the new academic year to which so many of us are all still biologically synced.Â
at the end of September i had the great honour and pleasure of taking part in a weekend of events and concerts curated by Bryce Dessner at the Paris Philharmonie. Many very beautiful and powerful concerts, and the part i played was doing a spot of backup singing with these marvelous women. an excellent and transformative time was had by all...
