    Their most multi-layered yet subtle work so far. ... The result is unshowily spectacular. [Nov 2020, p.34]

    Compositionally, Off Off On finds Stables at the top of her game to date. Pushed by Kaufman in new directions and with an ear towards experimentation in spots, the underlying tension of Stables’ music is spurred on by her lyrics.
  3. 80
    Producer Josh Kaufman - New York-based musician, Hold Steady collaborator and member of Bonny Light Horseman and Muzz - has elevated the album, finding the perfect mix of chaotic and smooth.

    The overall message is of gentle positivity. [Nov 2020, p.80]
  5. 80
    Off Off On stakes out the Winchester-born, Paris-based Stables as one of the most original and musically gifted artists of today.

    In spite of its musical intricacy, This Is the Kit remains a relatable portal into the human experience and Off Off On is as appealing as anything Stables has ever released.

    Off Off On captures something of how the world is right now. It has moments that encourage us to turn off and seek escape, but at the same time also provides energy to help us to re-engage with the world. In short, it’s a perfect soundtrack to help us through these pandemic-dominated times.
