Kitt’s inconspicuous debut album, ‘Small Moments’, was a slow-burn collection of lo-fi recordings that crept up on the record-buying public in 2000, helping to re-establish vaunted indie label Rough Trade in the process, leading to the breakthrough success of his sophomore LP, ‘The Big Romance’.
In 2002, Kitt appeared as part of the Meltdown Festival in London, as curated by David Bowie. Kitt’s follow-up, ‘Square 1’, debuted atop the Irish charts in the balmy summer of 2003. Kitt’s initial success aligned him with a then-burgeoning scene of radio-friendly indie and folk-rock breakthrough acts, including David Gray, with whom Kitt has regularly toured as a supporting musician.
A long history of supporting and then playing with the acclaimed rock group Tindersticks, lead to Kitt officially joining the group for the release of their 2010 LP, ‘Falling Down a Mountain’. Touring internationally, Kitt remained creatively fertile, and yet, eight years passed between the release of his LP ‘The Nightsaver’ and 2018’s ‘Yous’. Celebrated by Louder Than War as “a sublime, introspective, soother of a solo album, reaffirming him as one of Ireland’s best singer/songwriters”, the record was imbued with a clear-eyed sense of optimism and a timeless take on his typical melding of acoustic and electronic elements. ‘Yous’ was released on Dublin’s own All City Records.
With more releases incoming on All City and beyond, Kitt remains a unique, sincere artist and songwriter, able to meld influences, eras and sound with a timelessness earned after more than twenty years immersed in music.
