This is the Kit announce Gruff Rhys-produced album, share "Inside Outside" video

This is the Kit has announced a new album, Careful of Your Keepers which will be out June 9 via Rough Trade. The album was produced by Super Furry Animals‘ Gruff Rhys. “I’ve always loved the idea of working with him somehow, and when this album started getting planned, I realized that maybe this was my chance to reach out and see if he was up for working together,” bandleader Kate Stables says. “And he was! As if that wasn’t enough, he was also up for doing a bit of singing on the record, which totally blew my mind and made my year. His way with harmony and melody and the tone and quality of his voice is a totally killer combo.”

The first single is the folky/jazzy “Inside Outside” which quotes Ralph Wiggum and comes with a video directed by Hannah Owen; watch that below.
