Kate Stables has readied a new This Is the Kit album called Careful of Your Keepers. The LP arrives on June 9th via Rough Trade, and as a preview, new single “Inside Outside” is out now.
Careful of Your Keepers is named after the seventh track on the record, which refers to, as Stables put it in a press release, “The fragility of things. Of situations. Of relationships. Of humans. What we do to look after each other and ourselves. The passing of time and what that does to us, and how we live our lives going forward.”
Stables teamed up with her usual band for the LP, as well as Jesse D. Vernon, who arranged a horn quartet. Super Furry Animals’ Gruff Rhys produced the project, and both Stables and Rhys himself spoke excitedly about the collaboration in a statement.
“I’ve always loved the idea of working with him somehow,...

The hysteria in Lillian Hellman's play is no match for the hype surrounding leading ladies Keira Knightley and Elisabeth Moss
Quiet please, everyone. This revival of The Children's Hour ticks every hype box, so we have a lot to get through. Fresh-ish from his triumph with Jerusalem, Ian Rickson has cast Elisabeth Moss (from hysterically admired Us soap opera Mad Men) and Keira Knightley (out of all those films) together in a play about rumours in a girls' school that is packed with unrequited girl-on-girl desire. It's not quite Nicole Kidman starkers; but it's enough to make tickets near impossible to get, and therefore fashionable to have. "One might cynically wonder if Knightley and Moss were unimaginative commercial casting," says Kate Bassett in the Independent on Sunday. One might also wonder whether anybody in the world could be capable of believing anything else.
Cutting to the chase, then, as...

Sanctum opens February 4. James Cameron produced (along with a handful of others), and Aussie director Alistair Grierson helmed the 3-D project. Cameron joined Twitter on January 28 per Ryan Seacrest's suggestion. The filmmaker has already amassed 48,200 followers (he's following 38, mostly scientific orgs). Since joining, Cameron's focus has been mostly #Sanctum promos (see tweets below), for which he calls himself "such a ho": More reviews, the trailer and tweets are below: Neil Smith, Total Film : "Cardboard has a tendency to go wobbly when wet, and the same applies to the cut-outs co-writers John Garvin and Andrew Wight attempt to pass off as flesh-and-blood protagonists…Such paper-thin personalities hardly improve for being shot in 3D…we’re enveloped by the submerged caverns’ awe-inspiring expanses. It’s ethereal imagery ...
