Brace yourself - we're going down... From tenacious ten past sensational six and all the way down to the incredible number one, The G-Man's Top 50 albums of the year for 2012 is now complete. Again these are my own personal favourite releases from the past twelve months so no harm intended if your own choices happen to be omitted from the list. For a recap on #50 through #11 see here . Note reason for itty bitty videos is to improve page loading times. [...]
First Aid Kit started very young and were only 19 and 17 when they released their first LP. The Swedish siblings have evolved over time and teaming up with producer and Bright Eyes member Mike Mogus has seemingly brought increased focus to 'The Lion's Roar' making it a timeless record. Olivia added 'The Lion's Roar' [...]
I'm WAY behind on my 2012 albums but here's a list of my 15 favorites that I couldn't be bothered to put into numerical order. Also, I managed to get two blog posts in this year so that's cool. Alabama Shakes -- Boys & Girls I'd like to see Frank [...]

I have loafed about this Christmas - reading, drinking, watching films and generally living the life, which has been great, but now I find myself with just a few hours in which to throw this together… To be honest, it feels like I’ve already done this once already having been asked to nominate five 2012 records for the January Lpgrp session. I managed it with some difficulty (particularly as my Lpgrp line manager made me nominate one to be the best of them all – wild stab…), so seven should be a piece of (Christmas) pudding, eh? [...]
El día de hoy no vamos a hablar sobre dos bellas mujeres con una bonita voz, que por alguna razón extraña y maquiavélica, han logrado trascender de manera rápida y sencilla en el mundo musical. De lo que se trata esta historia es lo siguiente; Johanna y Klara Söderberg -21 y 19 años respectivamente- andando [...]

Welcome to Friday, fellow music lovers! While Seattle’s’ City Arts Fest is presumably taking over the town this weekend with its many glorious artist and acts, I felt compelled to cover the ones that didn’t make the City Art Fest cut this weekend, but that are more than worthy of your love and attention. Enjoy! Friday, 10/19 - Hot Bodies in Motion at the Crocodile | Performing an early show to promote Crocodile’s Happy Hour, soul and rock come together to form Hot Bodies in Motion. Laced with funk, the Seattle band, [...]
I love how sweet and charming this song is. A great tribute to some of the great singing couple/duos - Emmylou Harris & Gram Parsons and June Carter Cash and Johnny Cash. Who would have thought that a Swedish duo would be making some of the best Americana today?
SOUL'D OUT MUSIC FESTIVAL: MAZE FEATURING FRANKIE BEVERLY, RONNIE LAWS, MARLON McCLAIN ( Keller Auditorium , 222 SW Clay) The Soul'd Out Music Fest starts today and to kick things off is one of your "quiet storm" soul faves from the '70s, Maze featuring Frankie Beverly. They're wildly rhythmic and optimistic, and if you are ever down in the dumps, nothing will cheer you up faster than their hit "Back in Stride." WM. STEVEN HUMPHREY Also see our article on the Soul'd Out Music Festival . [...]

You'd be forgiven if you were to think that Johanna and Klara Söderberg, the sisters that make up Swedish duo First Aid Kit, emerged from a mossy forest strumming a guitar, soaring harmonies in tow. There's a certain organic magic about their music that makes such a myth entirely believable, passed down from forebearers like Emmylou Harris, Gram Parsons, Bob Dylan and Karen Dalton. The truth is slightly more mundane and therefore a bit more believable: teenage girl introduced by her friends to the music of Bright Eyes, who in turn introduce her to the legends mentioned above, who in [...]
![OF MONTREAL, YOUTH LAGOON, CLOUD NOTHINGS [SUGGESTED NYC CONCERTS]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4156277_lg.jpg)
I'll start off by apologizing for last week's absence of this column. It doesn't happen very often that we miss a week of our suggested shows. Now that that's over, I can tell you will full confidence that this week is an absolutely kickass week for indie music here in New York City. Many of the bands that played SXSW two weeks ago are finally making their way up to our city. Headlining big venues is nothing new for of Montreal (pictured above) and Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. , but this week marks the first [...]
Produto vindo do frio mas que traz consigo um calor reconfortante de terras escandinavas, as 'manas First Aid Kit lançaram há pouco tempo o seu álbum de estreia, 'The Lion's Roar', uma verdadeira e implícita homenagem ao Dia da Poesia que ontem teve lugar. Tenta a sorte com "Emmylou" num vôo SAS perto de ti. Video Credits: FirstAidKitVEVO on youtube.com ..:: Automatic English (bad)
First Aid Kit are two Swedish sisters, Johanna and Klara Söderberg. They just put out their sophomore album titled The Lion's Roar via Wichita Recordings. 'Emmylou' is the second single off of the album and offers up some outstanding folk driven harmonies that are well worth a listen.

It's one of life's great pleasures as a music tragic to see talented musicians get the opportunity to ply their trade under their own terms in surroundings that become them. This is definitely the case when is comes to the new record by the sisters that make up Stockholm indie folk/rock duo First Aid Kit, The Lion's Roar. Whether on their own or working harmonies, the exquisite vocal talents of the [...]

The Swedish sisters behind First Aid Kit may have made a name for themselves covering Fleet Foxes’ “Tiger Mountain Peasant Song,” but now they’re making a brand of folky Americana that’s all their own.

First Aid Kit, as incriveís manas Soderberg ( já aqui devidamente apresentadas ), têm um novo vídeo para o seu segundo single, "Emmylou", retirado, curiosamente, do seu segundo álbum, "The Lion´s Roar", que será editado a 23 de Janeiro. Ao contrário do que seria de esperar, Karla e Johanna, numa entrevista, disseram não terem chegado a este som ouvindo os clássicos, Bob Dylan, Emmylou Harris, Johnny Cash, Gram Parsons, entre tantos outros, mas foi pelo seu interesse na música de Bright Eyes (Conor Oberst participou neste álbum), e do que o influenciava, que chegaram a [...]
A lovely, Joshua Tree-set video for First Aid Kit's sparkling country homage. Play it as loud as your heartstrings will bear.

Some musicians below in a different time period. Some below in a different country. Sweden's First Aid Kit (sisters Klara and Johanna Soderberg) sound like they should have been making music in So-Cal's Laurel Canyon in the '70s. Their new album drops next Tuesday (1/24). Love the music although the videos don't do much for me. Title Track: Second Single:
