First Aid Kit - The Lion’s Roar

First Aid Kit - The Lion’s Roar
Single Reviews

A very lovely track indeed.



Label: Wichita Recordings
Released: 5th December 2011
Reviewer: Francesca Dunn
Since the world first heard their sweet, sweet voices grace YouTube with a stunning Fleet Foxes cover three years ago, the Swedish sisters have certainly had a lot of adventures. Having released their debut album 'The Big Black & The Blue' in 2010, toured the globe, and written a second album with Mike Mogis of Bright Eyes, we await their upcoming release with anticipation.

The first single, and title track from said album is 'The Lion’s Roar' - a very lovely track indeed. Experimenting with a full band, rather than the raw duets of the first album, the Soderberg girls have entered into a whole new world of possibility. Opening with a simple acoustic vibe, the track rushes to beautiful new harmony-laden heights, backed by a wonderful assembly of instruments that build up to something big. Dips in and out of intensity tease and please the listener throughout the track. With a definite country feel, and more detail than ever before, First Aid Kit are moving on up. Rating: 8/10
