This Is The Kit have shared their latest single “More Change,” the track is lifted from band’s forthcoming album Careful Of Your Keepers, produced by Gruff Rhys (Super Furry Animals) and dropping on June 9th via Rough Trade Records. Featuring Rhys on backing vocals, the meditative track is out now alongside an adorable animated video created by Benjamin Jones that brings everyday objects to life as it follows along to the song’s heartfelt lyrics. Jones explains the video: “With this video I wanted to create something that felt homemade, organic and very much alive. Using very simple puppetry with some old coat hangers and some basic stop motion (and some surprisingly willing neighbors who lent me their faces) I’ve tried to create a few characters and scenarios which are connected in some ways, but also reflect the themes I picked up from the music – sadness, compromise, exploring new ground, and finding new ways to help each other move forward.”

The quartet–featuring Rozi Plain (bass/vocals), Neil Smith (guitar), and Jamie Whitby-Coles (drums)–also announced a headlining North American fall tour throughout October and November.

Paris-based songwriter Kate Stables explains “More Change:”

“More it stays the same.

Sometimes it feels like everything has completely changed and then it just feels like it’s always

been like that. And always will be like that.

The more things change the more they actually stay the same.

The one constant is change.

Change is the only thing we can be sure of.

Who is who.

The people that become important to us and the way they become important. Phases that

come and go? Or don’t go?

The friends we need. We need our friends. We need to remember to be in the world.

I love it when Gruff says “light bulb.”

Realising that things come and go and pass and are born and then die.

The good it does us to hold hands with someone.

The tearing in two of a person and a heart.”
