First Aid Kit



I first discovered these sweet, singing, Swedish siblings through their haunting rendition of Fleet Foxes’ “Tiger Mountain Peasant Song”. Their woodsy, weather-beaten vocals received much praise in the folk circuit and got them to play along side big names such as Bright Eyes and Jack White, who produced their track “Universal Soldier”.
Their sophomore record “The Lion’s Roar” will be released early next year, but the homonymous single has already been put up on Youtube.

It’s the perfect winter soundtrack. It just makes you want to put on a chunky knit and wander round a campfire in a leafy, snowy Nordic forest whilst eating cinnamon and ginger biscuits. Bliss.

Enjoy.
