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 Söderberg sisters, Johanna and Klara, certainly get the chance to shine backed by the production of Mike Mogis. Their last LP, The Big, The Black And The Blue, released in 2010 was a more lo-fi driven affair, pretty much out of the lack of any other choice and in some ways skirted too close to the sum of the influences. Since then though, their work has been noticed and embraced by luminaries such as Conor Oberst, Robin Pecknold and Jack White. The notice gave First Aid Kit the opportunity to record The Lion's Roar in Nebraska in an environment that brings their the growth songwriting abilities, both lyrically and musically, near as possible to full maturation. Check out the track and video for their country driven single 'Emmylou', as the sisters pay homage to country legend Gram Parsons out at Joshua Tree National Park in California. First Aid Kit is out now on Witchita Records. Grab a vinyl copy here.
