Sunday morning calls for strong coffee and great acoustic music. What better than some First Aid Kit goodness courtesy of National Public Radio? Thought so! Pour a cup and listen/watch the Söderberg sisters sing New Year's Eve, The Lion's Roar and Emmylou at the very chill tiny desk concert. Gotta love those harmonies. Enjoy!
This is amazing - an electro remix of First Aid Kit's acoustic cover of Fever Ray's electro originalWhen I Grow Up. It all comes full circle, given the fact that the sisters are on the label Karin Dreijer Andersson owns - Rabid Records. We literally stumbled across this, and it was meant to be we're sure as it's been on repeat since then. We love Klara and Johanna's voices and L.E.D's remix takes them into a whole new magical realm. Enjoy! Folkstep all the way baby!
Klara and Johanna Söderberg - known as First Aid Kit stopped by Scandinavian chat show Skavlan over the weekend and performed a campfire version of their wonderful Emmylou. They seem so happy when they perform, it's a joy to watch. Enjoy!
Southern California circa 1977 - or Stockholm 2012, when it comes to First Aid Kit the lines are blurred. The much hyped sibling duo, with tons of talent to back it up performed their single Lion's Roar at Swedish award show P3 Guld last night. We're super impressed by their work! If Stevie Nicks would hear 'em we're sure she'd be floored!
Stockholm's finest sibling duo First Aid Kit have released the sweetest song we have heard in a long time. Emmylou is the new single from their just released, highly acclaimed album The Lion's Roar, produced by Mike Mogis of Bright Eyes. We love the tone of the song, it's sunshine in an mp3 format. We have a feeling all the icons name checked would be so proud. Gram Parsons, June Carter Cash, Johnny Cash... Hopefully Emmylou Harris will hear this like asap and Dolly Parton too! We absolutely adore this country feel! The video is shot at legendary Joshua Tree national park - where Gram Parsons spent his last day here and died from an overdose in 1973. Emmylou feels like an instant classic and we can't stop playing it. If you live in the US you can download it for free on iTunes hereas it's their pick of the week.
I’ll be your Emmylou and I’ll be your June if you’ll be my Gram and my Johnny too No, I’m not asking much of you just sing little darling sing with me.
