First Aid Kit have announced details of their new album, titled ‘Ruins’, and shared a new song, ‘Postcards’. Due out on January 19th, it’s the Swedish folk duos’ fourth album.
The Söderberg sisters recorded the album earlier this year in Portland, Oregon with longtime The Decemberists collaborator Tucker Martine on production duties.
‘Postcards’ is another slice of timeless Americana from the Söderbergs, with lilting melodies waltzing over a walking bassline and yearning pedal steel. Check it out below.
Last month First Aid Kit premiered their comeback single ‘It’s A Shame’, featuring the group’s trademark vocal harmonies with an added flourish of rock organ. Check out the video here to see how Klara and Johanna’s very different evenings played out.
First Aid Kit play a one-off show at Shoreditch Town Hall next week (November 1st). They’ve also announced some UK shows early next year, with tickets going on sale next Friday.
First Aid Kit play:
FEBRUARY 24 – GLASGOW O2 Academy
