First Aid Kit

I find it quite amazing how two Swedish sisters (Johanna & Klara Söderberg) manage to sound more heartland Americana than native born denizens of the USA. Perhaps I’ll never know. I do know this, the sisters from Stockholm, Sweden are nothing short of amazing. If you haven’t already heard of them, then I implore you to peruse their debut 2010 release The Big Black & The Blue. I still shake my head every time I listen to it, because I am constantly blown away by the absolute power and beauty of their vocals.  Early next year “The Lion’s Roar”, is expected to drop on January 24th, there is a teaser clip below.  This time out producer Mike Mogis from Bright Eyes is at the helm, as if I needed further reason to be more excited.  The first video is a teaser from their forthcoming album Lion’s Roar. I have also included Johanna & Klara’s song “Waltz For Richard”, from their epic 2010 release The Big Black & The Blue. By the way, I’ve heard through the grapevine that Conner Oberst will also appear on the new album, how wicked is that?
