Mar 31, 2015This album ought to see Kate Stables recognised as one of the most compelling voices in alt-folk.
-
UncutMar 31, 2015It's an understated yet absorbing work, full of delicate arrangements that are elegantly swept along by Stables' gloriously tender vocals. [May 2015, p.83]
-
Apr 8, 2015This album is about the layers that play out in a minimalist way. Each brush stroke, each note, is purposeful. This album doesn't scream "listen to me", it gently draws you in.
-
Apr 16, 2015These new songs don’t sound terribly different from Stables’ first recordings nearly a decade ago, but the music is bolder and more purposeful, with a broader, richer palette of sounds.
-
Apr 13, 2015Whether or not it’s enough to push Stables into a more prominent place, however, remains to be seen, but surely a wider acknowledgement of her prowess can’t be far away.

New Musical Express (NME)Mar 31, 2015The assembled talent takes This Is The Kit’s traditional folk to the edge of the avant-garde.

Q MagazineApr 1, 2015For Much of Bashed Out, emotion is shown rather than told, but once the layers have been unpicked, it's obviously special. [May 2015, p.112]
