De två systrarna Klara och Johanna Söderberg från Enskede som tillsammans bildar First Aid Kit har än så länge bara släppt en enda EP, men fått ordentigt med uppmärksamhet och det inte bara p.g.a. deras mycket fina cover på Fleet Foxes Tiger Mountain Peasant Song , utan givetvis för att deras egen musik är så pass fin som den är. De fick mycket bra kritik av J. Tillman, från just Fleet Foxes, när de agerade support åt honom för några månader sedan. 20 januari kommer albumdebuten The Big Black & the Blue [...]
Hot Damn! I don't think we've ever been inundated with so many Scandinavian exports, and all of decent quality, which is more than you can say about a certain Danish beer! What with Casiokids , First Aid Kit , Sebastian Lind , and (to a certain extent) Fanfarlo , we're really being spoiled across the back end of 2009. If that wasn't enough, here comes the excellent Erik Hassle . Swedish born Erik could be on his way to be a massive pop star (yes, I said 'pop', sue me), he's damn [...]
I stumbled upon this little gem of a cover this morning while I was listening to music at work. A friend sent me the link and I thought I would pay it forward. The track is a fairly straightforward cover of the Fleet Foxes classic Tiger Mountain Peasant Song. If you like what the ladies have done with it (somehow I think they make it even more haunting than the original) make sure you check out their myspace page from some more great songs. mp3 : First Aid Kit - Tiger Mountain Peasant Song (Fleet [...]
I suppose at the start of a review I should probably explain who the bands are and why went to the gig, this being a personable blog and all, not your budget music review in the Metro. Thing is, I'm not sure if I can, or should. You see at this gig, for the first time in years, I actually took notes so I'd know what to write about afterwards, so I think instead I'll open with this: It was a cold, wet, horrible Tuesday, the second wet day in a row and after a few September weeks [...]
Enjoy 'King Tuts' below. Be sure to catch Fanfarlo at our CMJ 2009 Party! MP3: Fanfarlo - Finish Line
words: Jamie Milton originally scribed for gigwise They called it an 'Indian Summer', and we knew it was coming. It seems very boring to start a review with the weather situation but it did seem to dictate the days of everyone who eventually made it to the Hanbury Ballroom by 9 in the evening. What had preceded was a monsoon of sorts - rain, not just rain in fact: sheets of water coming down from the skies, constant, merciless. When you experience a long, dry summer it's always nice when rain first arrives but [...]
Fanfarlo Genre: Alternative / Pop / Folk From: London, United Kingdom [...]
Clem Snide – Hungry Bird. Download "Me No" (mp3). This album was originally recorded in 2006. As the story goes, the band broke up after writing and recording it. But Eef Barzelay, after releasing two solo albums, has re-formed the band and finally allowed this hidden gem to be unleashed. Barzelay's voice has a tonal quality reminiscent of John Darnielle but the music is full of lush and beautiful arrangements. The songs are fairly candid, but with a hint of convolution. Thank God the album was finally released from the shelf! M. Ward – Hold Time. Download "Never Had Nobody [...]
This video trips me up and trips me out whilst spinning me round in a clarity dance. It's really in your face, not aggressively so - that's just how the talents of First Aid Kit tend to wash over me. The piano scene is great, but I keep thinking of the best piano scene ever. It belongs to Tom Hanks in Big. This is out and about on Wichita on October 5th along with Waltz for Richard.
first aid kit - hard believer first aid kit - tiger mountain peasant song ( fleet foxes cover) [from the website: The Swedish duo First Aid Kit comprises sisters Johanna and Klara Söderberg (born 1990 and 1993, respectively), hailing from Enskede, a suburb south of Stockholm. Yes, they are very young, but the pure music they create speaks of bygone times and old souls. The emphasis is on narrative lyrics accompanying playful melodies with intense, dense harmonies.] http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld
Enjoy 'Hard Believer' below. Be certain to visit First Aid Kit on MySpace. MP3: First Aid Kit - You're Not Coming Home Tonight
It's been most of a year since our beloved cat Jacob passed away, and although I still think of him sometimes when I pass the rock where we laid his body to rest, the memory of his heaviness on my shoulders, like the sound of his rattling purr, has lost its weight as it moved from heart to brain. As I wrote back in September when he first fell ill , Jacob was our first child, the first other life to which I committed myself wholly. To lose him was to [...]

![Electric Picnic 09 – Sunday [Niall Byrne]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1975147_lg.jpg)
Everyone knows the Irish love their tea in the morning and a festival usually that means styrofoam cups and weak cuppas. Not at the Picnic of course. The Little Tea Tent in Body and Soul were serving up all kinds of tea in mugs (for a small deposit) while it lashed rain outside. It took 48 hours for the downpour to come and the already-muddy fields soon became wet and murky ones. Some let that deter them and sauntered off home early lunchtime content with their lot for the weekend but they missed out on Sunday's [...]
