This Is The Kit released their fifth album, ‘Off Off On’, in October. During the interview with KEXP’s DJ Morgan, Stables confirmed she had recovered from COVID-19 earlier this year. She also explained the meaning behind lead single ‘This Is What You Did’.

“[It’s about] the way saying things can kind of exorcise certain kinds of anxieties and panicky thoughts, and just things you need to do to make sure you don’t get stuck in these mind loops of negativity,” she said.

Speaking to NME, Stables said the songs from ‘Off Off On’ ruminate on “swinging between good places and bad places”.







“Sometimes you can feel really positive about the way humanity is going, and then other times not at all,” she said.

“It’s also to do with how we choose to spend our time and energy, how we choose to look at things, and how we choose to be helpful or not – in our own lives, and also in society. It’s this eternal balance between negative and positive. That’s what we’re all battling with.”
