Watch the video for Emmylou by First Aid Kit here. The track is the next single to be taken from their album The Lion’s Roar which is released on 23rd January and available to pre-order here.
The album was recorded with Mike Mogis (Bright Eyes) and is already earning them critical acclaim across the board:
“I loved their voices and their innocence… listening to them sing is very powerful. They’re wonderful” Jack White
“An intoxicating mix of widescreen Americana and Scandinavian poise” 4.5/5 The Sun
“The voices of Johanna and Klara are enough to weaken knees… The lyrics’ heavy-hearted take on relationships is more evidence of an astonishing maturity” 4/5 Mojo
“Klara and Johanna Söderberg have crafted remarkably mature work” 4/5 Uncut
“Nothing short of magical” 4/5 The Fly
“The Lion’s Roar is full of rich textures that unfurl around Klara and Johanna’s bittersweet harmonies… First Aid Kit have woven their Swedish sangfroid into a bewitching brand of Americana” 8/10 Clash
4/5 Q
