This Is The Kit shared a new single, “Was Magician.” The song will land on the project led by singer-songwriter Kate Stables’ forthcoming album, Off Off On, which arrives on October 23 through Rough Trade Records.
“Was Magician” follows This Is The Kit’s previous single “Coming To Get You Nowhere.” Stables detailed the new song in a statement:
“Often it’s children who have underestimated powers,” she said. “They have an understanding and wisdom about things that we think beyond their abilities, they are often leaps and bounds ahead of the ‘adults’. People like Greta Thunberg – the young people who we have borrowed the earth from and who we have to give it back to, and hope that they will take better care of it than we have.”
“Was Magician” came along with a live performance video filmed at L’Epicerie Morderne in Feyzin, France by Lyon Sound and Vision and remotely directed from New York City by Marisa Gesualdi. Watch it below:
