This Is The Kit covers Gruff Rhys’ ‘Sensations In The Dark’ and heads off on tour in the US later this month 🌙

On the track Kate says “ This came about as Gruff Rhys was joining us on tour in the States. A friend who cuts records suggested we do a split single, each of us playing a song by the other person. Which we did. And this is the song I chose from Gruff’s overwhelmingly excellent repertoire. I love the lyrics and the horn line and how difficult it was for me to play as I’m really bad at changing chords quickly. In the end I cheated and played the riff on one string. With this song I really enjoyed indulging in things I love messing about with, like recorders and rhythms and holding the “fill’ button down on the Casio keyboard beat that I was using for the whole duration of the song.”
