Blanket Sky was the product of Kate's college experience at Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson, NY, recorded as her senior project with Sebastian Schinkel who engineered and mixed the album at the school's studio. Songs were written in classes (songwriting and not), dorms, and practice rooms. Kate pushed the boundaries of the typical verse-chorus-bridge songwriting formula, exploring such aspects musically and not lyrically, in a more non-linear approach. Being immersed in composition classes, classical guitar, and other areas of music not previously experienced growing up writing by ear, this was Kate's most ambitious approach at writing and arranging songs with new constructs in comparison to her previous work.

Guest musicians included Jim Bertini on drums, Shiau-shu Yu playing cello on "False Interpretation," Daniel Bieber playing cello on "Radio B.E." and bass, and John Gnorski on pedal steel for "Fallen."
