mind your music: first aid kit
September is quickly approaching, as does everything that comes with it. i’m very excited about it. And i think First Aid Kit will make it come that much faster.
In The Morning
Who Are They: The Stockholm sisters create magic. Even more amazing is Johanna and Klara’s lyrics which are far more beautiful and tragic than their 16 and 19 years of age. The music is as wistful as it is golden … and their voices together are simply haunting.
Favorite Song: Their debut album The Big Black & The Blue is glorious … every single song. I’m especially partial to “Waltz for Richard” , “Sailor Song”, and “I Met Up With a King”
Waltz for Richard
Reminds Me Of/ Feels Like: Baroque wallpaper, fall school romances, and ship sails full of wind

So let the leaves fall around you and soak in the looming autumn with the Swedish sisters of folk.

oh my, wistful and haunting indeed! they instantly reminded me of another band and then i realized when i saw their cover song that it’s fleet foxes. and there ain’t nothing wrong with that.
Ha, no there is not! Apparently they got popular after they posted the Fleet Foxes cover on youtube. They are delightful.
