First Aid Kid - Emmylou A few years ago, two Swedish sisters posted a cover of Fleet Foxes' Tiger Mountain Peasant Song on YouTube and their name, First Aid Kit, spread quickly across the internet. Now, some four years later, the two sisters, Klara and Johanna Söderberg released their sophomore album, The Lion's Roar . From that first Fleet Foxes' cover, you could tell these girls had the harmonies, voices and talent to be more than just a YouTube sensation. Their first album, The Big Black and The [...]

Now we get to hear the Mike Mogis-produced set in full, complete with guest vocals from Conor Oberst on the triumphant closing track "King of the World," the seasonally apropos "New Year's Eve," and 8 more of some of the best folk tunes we've heard so [...]
First Aid Kit - Swedish siblings Clara and Johanna Söderberg graduate from dewy, baby-faced teen folk prodigies to breakout indie Americana queens with their much buzzed sophomore album...could it really be five years since the then Söderbergs, then just 14 and 17 years old, recorded their debut EP Drunken Trees ? // Release : The Lion's Roar (January 24) // Sounds like : Maybe it's the shared genes (see: The Watson Twins), but rarely do two voices in harmony join with such perfect, effortless and loose-limbed precision...the sisters move confidently from the [...]
Back in 2008, the Swedish sister duo of Johanna and Klara Söderberg, who perform and record as the First Aid Kit , became indie-rock viral video sensations when they posted a clip of themselves in a forest, decked out in flannel, performing an enchanting acoustic version of the Fleet Foxes' Tiger Mountain Peasant Song. The video has since been viewed a staggering 2.6 million times. As a result of the YouTube clip, the sisters, who had released an EP on a Swedish label in April of that year, were signed to the London-based Wichita Records, who re-released [...]
First Aid Kit: "Emmylou" (Official Video) First Aid Kit filmed a clip for their new homage to Gram Parsons, Emmylou Harris, Johnny Cash, and June Carter in the perfect location: Joshua Tree National Park, one of Parsons' favorite haunts and — according to a famous '70s rock story — his final resting place. Not only did the Swedish duo get the setting and reverent allusion to that story just right, but they also shot this scenic video on what would have been Parsons' 65th birthday last November. Above, enjoy the [...]
As I dosed off sometime in the middle of the night in a dumpy motel after a long day of traveling and visiting relatives, the sleeping soundtrack my man had put on struck me as a brilliant piece of music. It wasn't until the next morning, when, as if realizing what I had dreamed, I said, "You put on some really great music last night. Who was that?" "Yeah, it was good wasn't it? That's The Low Anthem." Yes. It was good! It was an aromatic mix of Ray LaMontagne and [...]
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 ).
First Aid Kit: "The Lion's Roar" The title track from First Aid Kit's sophomore LP, The Lion's Roar , premiered at The Guardian today, picking up where the Söderberg sisters' nuanced, vocal harmony-driven debut left off before exploring a layered full-band sound that recalls a number of their folk-rock contemporaries (Fleet Foxes, Neko Case, et al.). With a little help from producer/Bright Eyes multi-instrumentalist Mike Mogis, they've taken a promising step forward here while retaining the indelible spirit behind The Big Black [...]
As irmãs Klara e Johanna Söderberg , prodígios musicais, são jovens e se preparam para lançar seu segundo álbum, The Lion's Roar . Mas não deixe as idades das suecas lhe enganarem, as garotas emocionaram até mesmo Patti Smith com seu talento e belas vozes, ao se apresentarem no prêmio Polaris Music Prize com um cover de Dancing Barefoot , em homenagem à icônica cantora. O duo First Aid Kit também acaba de divulgar os detalhes de seu segundo álbum, que conta com a participação de Nate Walcott [...]
Johanna y Klara Söderberg son dos hermanas que, como ya parece ser común en la música hoy en día, saltaron a la fama gracias a Youtube y a un cover que hicieron a Fleet Foxes allá por el año de 2007. El dúo, que desde ese entonces lleva por nombre First Aid Kit debutó en el 2010 con su primera producción en la que continuaron en la línea sonora propuesta por los Floxes, utilizando armonías a dos voces y un folk de influencias clásicas y de gente como Joanna Newsom. Después del buen recibimiento que tuvo [...]
Over the weekend, we prepared for First Aid Kit's forthcoming LP by giving the Swedish folk duo's recent Patti Smith tribute its due, but now comes the big announcement: On January 24, Wichita Records will unleash Klara and Johanna Söderberg's sophomore effort, The Lion's Roar , featuring production by Bright Eyes' Mike Mogis as well as guest performances from the Omaha troupe's other two official members: Conor Oberst and multi-instrumentalist Nate Walcott. If you're unfamiliar with First Aid Kit's work thus far, I'd recommend their debut album's single here . Otherwise, behold the album [...]

So the story goes that Blake Sennett was retired from music, his baggage heavy from a decade's worth of work with Rilo Kiley and two albums of material from his own band the Elected . A friend got him off the schneid, back in the studio, and, boom, we have "Bury Me in My Rings" (out Tuesday), the Elected's third album. Made with the Elected's co-founder Mike Bloom (who, keeping it in the Rilo Kiley family, has his own solo album coming out in June on Pierre de Reeder's new label Little Record Co.) and producer/multi-instrumentalist Mike [...]
