First Aid Kit is comprised of two sisters from Stockholm, Sweden who surprisingly enough play American Folk music, beautifully held together with delicate harmonies, bringing to mind our own Fleet Foxes.
Which is actually how these folksters were first noticed....with their outstanding cover of "Tiger Mountain Peasant Song" via a DIY video posted to Youtube back in 2008.
Fast forward a few years and FAK are about ready to release their US debut [The Lion's Roar] January 24th on Jagadamba Records after some time spent holed up in Omaha, Nebraska with producer Mike Mogis.
Expect to see a lot more of these girls in the coming year...'The Lion's Roar' is going to put First Aid Kit in the running for MANY "Best of" year end lists... perhaps 2012 will see a collaboration with Fleet Foxes (just wishful thinking but wouldn't that be AMAZING)
