Stables has been turning heads in all the right places since 2003: a first album Krülle Bol produced by John Parish , singles (Two Wooden Spoons) released by Rob da Bank’s label Sunday Best and a long-awaited second album on Dreamboat Records in 2010. Wriggle out the Restless was born out of a new, slower way of working. Gestated over a long period the album has drawn on This Is The Kit’s many musical friends (Rozi Plain [[label]Fence ], Jim Barr [of Portishead ] Francois [Fence] and The Liftmen [[label]Twisted Nerve]) to fill out their delicate music into a full, robust sound. “The aim was to have fun playing with people who’s work I really like” says Kate “the more you exchange and share with people the better things get and the more you learn.”
This Is The Kit perform regularly as a two-piece with Stables on vocals, guitar and banjo, and Vernon on violin, guitar, bass and percussion.

Moonshine Freeze
This Is the Kit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As the game begins, we are separate
Some string slackening, others giving in, change sets in
Cycles of three, triangles are tricky
Cycles of three, triangles are tricky
Cycles of three, triangles are tricky
As the game begins, we are one again
This is the natural order of things, change sets in
Moonshine, moonshine, moonshine, freeze
As the change sets in, we have lost our way
As the game begins, we are found again
As the change sets in
Cycles of three (Moonshine, moonshine, moonshine, freeze)
As the change sets in, we are one again
As the game begins, we are one again
This is the natural order of things, change sets in
The song "Moonshine Freeze" by This Is the Kit is a reflection on the inevitability of change and the cyclical nature of life. The opening lines, "As the change sets in, we are separate / As the game begins, we are separate," set the tone for the rest of the song, which explores the various phases and stages of change. The reference to the "game" suggests that life is a challenge that we must navigate, and the idea of being separate implies that we are on our own individual journeys.
The repetition of the phrase "Cycles of three, triangles are tricky" reinforces the idea that change is not always straightforward and can be confusing or difficult to navigate. The use of the word "tricky" suggests that there may be hidden obstacles or unexpected turns that we must anticipate when facing change. However, the repeated assertion that "change sets in" suggests that this is a natural and necessary part of life, and that ultimately we will find our way again.
The phrase "Moonshine, moonshine, moonshine, freeze" is repeated throughout the song, adding a sense of mystery and surrealism. It is unclear what this phrase means, but it could be interpreted as a metaphor for the unpredictable and uncontrollable aspects of life. Overall, the lyrics of "Moonshine Freeze" encourage acceptance of change and a recognition that it is a natural part of the cycle of life.

Serious talent and immensely likeable. Kate and the band were on stage before Sufjan, Nico, Bryce and James performed Planetarium in Paris. It was a phenomenal night of extraordinary talent- blew me away. Such a chilled vibe to her music. Hope to see her live again soon..
