The second song released from This Is The Kit's forthcoming album is "Silver John" which finds the UK singer-songwriter Kate Stables contemplating the apocalypse. “’Silver John’ talks about how we see things,” Kate explains. “The end of the world that we’re bringing about ourselves. Putting the blame on other forces. Being let down by people. The things we grab at in times of panic. It’s just mulling over the way of the human.”

The video premiered on Thursday August 6th on Music Box with Guy Garvey, a new documentary series hosted by the Elbow frontman and BBC 6 presenter. Link:http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p02ycs9g
In each episode Garvey features a hand-selected favorite artist. Garvey was very vocal that This Is The Kit's last record should have been Mercury Prize nominated — and their new album Bashed Out is now hotly tipped to be among the shortlist nominees to be announced this October.

Vice’s Noisey site hosted the online premiere saying “This Is The Kit, real name Kate Stables, is a very modern folk singer who has been giving me that pause over the past year. There is a way that they use lyrics not to tell stories exactly, but like sillhouetes of experiences, tracing fears and their unlikely roots.” Link: http://noisey.vice.com/en_uk/read/watch-the-video-for-this-is-the-kits-apocalyptic-silver-john

The band would like to thank Catherine Hershey for use of camera and nature and space slides.
