I Met Up With The King

Their cover of Fleet Foxes' Tiger Mountain Peasant Song has had over 1 million hits on You Tube. So Swedish sisters Klara, 16, and Johanna Söderberg, 19, already proved there’s something magically captivating about their harmonies. But it’s the stunning beauty of First Aid Kit’s own compositions on debut album The Big Black and The Blue that shows the rare talent of these teenagers runs very deep. Their stripped down folk-pop has a care-worn, backwoods feel. Don’t expect bucolic ballads though - these tracks pack a surprising punch, anchored in melodies made to floor you and delivered head on.   First Aid Kit – The Big Black and The Blueis out now on Wichita Spring 2010 tour dates: www.myspace.com/thisisfirstaidkit
