Kate Stables

Kate Stables is the creative force behind the indie folk project This Is The Kit, known for her warm, storytelling lyrics and intricate acoustic arrangements. Hailing from the UK and based in Paris, Stables has carved out a unique space with her blend of folk traditions and subtle experimental textures, often anchored by her banjo playing and hypnotic vocals. Since emerging in the mid-2000s, she’s built a devoted following through albums like *Off Off On* (2020) and *Crushed Bull* (2024), collaborating with artists like The National’s Aaron Dessner, who’s produced some of her work. Her recent releases—including the haunting *Palaeontologist* and the atmospheric *Crack Ankle Lane (Roaming Soundtrack)*—showcase her knack for weaving intimate narratives with earthy, evocative soundscapes. Whether contributing music to BBC documentaries or reimagining tracks like *Woyaya* in stripped-back acoustic form, Stables maintains a quietly adventurous spirit that feels both timeless and refreshingly original.
