A few weeks ago we shared the title track off First Aid Kit's “Lion’s Roar” - the title track off First Aid Kit’s Mike Mogis-produced sophomore album. Watch above as the Söderberg sisters' mysterious new video
First Aid Kit: “Lion’s Roar” Video The title track off First Aid Kit’s Mike Mogis-produced sophomore album, The Lion’s Roar , now has an official video, in which the Söderberg sisters guide a mysterious procession through the woods before uncovering the contents of a suitcase submerged on the floor of a murky lake. The clip, directed by “Ghost Town” collaborator Mats Udd, becomes the tune’s darkly pastoral mix of familiar folk arrangements with haunting harmonies quite well. Check it out above (via Spin ).
Swedish duo First Aid Kit have their second album The Lion's Roar coming out in late January, but they're getting a lot of early promotion for it done. They've already put out a trailer for the album, released the title track as the lead single and now we have the video to accompany it. The video is a sort of gothic fantasy tale of the two girls on a march with some accompanying witches. They seem to be on some kind of hunt. Check it out below. [...]

Norwegian songwriter, guitarist and vocalist Ane Brun recently released It All Starts With One , her first studio album in over three years. This record follows up on her highly praised 2008 album Changing of the Seasons and, while it generally moves in the same emotionally-charged territory, it shows a clear evolution for the artist. Produced by her Tobias Fröberg, It All Starts With One showcases a fuller, more orchestral sound, as well as some of the most immediate melodies in Brun's career. [...]
DIY Radio: Into The Blogosphere (24th October 2011 ) If you’re one of this blog’s regular readers, you may have noticed a slight settling down in the number of podcasts I’ve been producing. What was once a weekly present has now become somewhat rarer. That’s mainly down to various other commitments, namely a big juicy radio show, spanning two hours. I’ve decided to integrate all of the songs I’d usually slot into an eight-track podcast into this more lengthy 120 minute offering - ‘Into the Blogosphere’ for DIY Radio . —- So with that out [...]
Words by Ellie Molitor After listening to First Aid Kit 's 'The Lion’s Roar', one would expect the duo to be composed of middle aged sirens, echoing the troubles that come with the experience love and loss. This is not the case. The Swedish folk duo is comprised of sisters Johanna and Klara Söderberg, who are only 21 and 18 respectively. Yet, 'The Lion's Roar' details emotions that some adults don’t even understand, detailing failed love via nature’s metaphors. This astounding maturity is further displayed in the [...]

You may feel as though there's already enough love in your heart for all things Scandinavian, but if you can clear the clutter from an atrium here or a ventricle there, you'd be wise to usher in Ane Brun or perhaps more precisely, It All Starts With One. Produced by the inconceivably gifted Tobias Fröberg (responsible for the lavish orchestration that gushes throughout) and backed by a slew of influential artists from that ethereal land that hangs over central Europe, Brun's latest work is a painstakingly crafted, achingly heartbreaking affair, and one [...]
Here is this week's music singles chart for the week ending October 23 - 29. Well there is no change this week. With all the hype surrounding Rich Aucoin's new album "We're All Dying To Live". I can't stop listening to the lead single "IT" and remains at #1 for the second week. Such a fun dancey track. There are new debuts from The Wooden Sky and Grimes. Check out this week's top 10.

This is called the Changecast because, in an absolutely stunning turn of events, it is not packed full of lo-fi garage rock for a bloody change. Considering the racket you've had to put up with for the last year or so, it seems I have kindly granted you the respite of three songs you'd probably vaguely describe as Americana and a couple which are most unmistakably pop! I know! Get me! Tonight is of course the Rob St. John album launch down at Pilrig St. Paul's in Leith. He will be joined on the bill by Viking Moses, [...]
The title track of First Aid Kit 's forthcoming sophomore album. The single is officially released on December 5, the album follows on January 23, 2012.
Full disclosure... when I heard First Aid Kit initially, I wasn't a fan. Something about the vocals just turned me off. But that was then, and "The Lion's Roar" is now. Here's a song that I can get behind. Fantastic instrumentation, great melody and harmonies that give me goosebumps. These Swedish sisters are making big waves in the music world. Their sophomore album is due out in January, so
Swedish siblings Clara and Johanna Söderberg -- aka First Aid Kit -- graduate from dewy, baby-faced teen folk prodigies to breakout indie Americana queens with their forthcoming January 24 album The Lion's Roar. They also move confidently from the bedroom acoustic lo-fi gems of their debut The Big Black and the Blue to a richly tailored country/rock sound thanks to a full band (which includes their dad on bass), and the attuned ears of Bright Eyes producer Mike Mogus. The title track of The Lion's Roar shows what we're in for: timeless barstool twang and brilliant Indigo-styled vocal [...]
I've been a fan of First Aid Kit, aka Swedish sisters Klara & Johanna Söderberg, for awhile now. But their new song could be the best thing I've heard yet. "The Lion's Roar" is beautifully arranged, and the vocal harmonies breathe so much life into this tortured tune about how hard real love can be. [...]
