First Aid Kit

And I'm back on the Swedes again. There's something about those people, they just make great music.

First Aid Kit is a Swedish sister duo who sing folk music. Really good folk music. With really good harmonies. They released their sophomore album, The Lion's Roar, earlier this year and you can hear how much they've developed since their first album a couple years ago. The album is already a front runner for my top 10 this year (along with the new Chairlift album, which I'll have to blog about later). Best track by far is the opening/title track, The Lion's Roar.



I love a great opening track. And this album also comes with a great closing track, King of the World. Everything in between is also great, which is nice because a great opening and closing track always makes me want to listen to the album one more time when it finishes, despite how the middle sounds. But in this case, it's all worth it. Anyway, I highly doubt that this is the official video. Very strange selection by whoever put this on youtube.
