First Aid Kit

Sweden, a country known for it's meatballs and unfair take over of the beautiful country Norway and not much else, has recently given the world something absolutely incredible. A while back on youtube there was a cover of Fleet Foxes Tiger Mountain Peasant Song  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMrqBldlqzA by two adorable sisters. The video got huge and so did First Aid Kit.
This review is of their newest album The Lion's Roar which is absolutely gorgeous. They do really nice acoustic, folky kind of stuff with great harmonization. They're really pretty minimalistic  but in such way that you don't really realize it. A great example is from the title track of the album The Lion's Roar http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gekHV9DIjHc and another of my favorites I Found A Way http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1b2c90hgtI but the whole album is really great. Check this band out on the interwebs, cause all of their stuff is great.
That's all for now,
Keep on listening to music and loving art,
Stephen
