First Aid Kit have unveiled the stunning video for their brand new single 'The Lion's Roar'.
Set for release on 5th December via Wichita Records, 'The Lion's Roar' is the title track from their forthcoming album which was produced by Mike Mogis (Bright Eyes & Monsters of Folk).
First Aid Kit, aka sisters Klara and Johanna Söderberg, are currently supporting fellow Swede Lykke Li on her UK tour. They play a sold out Camden Roundhouse tonight and will return to the UK in December for their own headline show at Bush Hall on Tues 6th Dec. Guest list for this gig is now available if you would like to come along and review this one.
Initially signed to Rabid Records (the label run by The Knife) in 2008, the girls have had an eventful 3 years, going from teenage fans covering Fleet Foxes, to recording with Jack White at his request in his Nashville, TN, Third Man studio.
'The Lion's Roar' is the follow up to their 2010 debut album 'The Big Black and the Blue'. Recorded in the US, the new album juxtaposes sadness and beauty in the best traditions of folk and country music. The many references of Stockholm (their home town) and long dark Scandinavian winters are set to an unforced backdrop of beautiful country-rock swing.
