Classic Interview:

Klara Söderberg of First Aid Kit would like people to know that she and her sister Johanna were an active duo performing shows in Sweden before folks in the U.S. discovered them through their cover of Fleet Foxes’ “Tiger Mountain Peasant Song” on YouTube. “I don’t want them to think we were not making music and then did the Fleet Foxes cover and were like, ‘Oh, we can make music,’” Klara explains. “We’ve always been doing our own songs, and that has been the main thing.” (via First Aid Kit Interview | Under The Radar)

Swedish folk duo First Aid Kit have premiered a fever-dream music video for their new single, “Wolf,” delivered in the wake of their much-praised sophomore album The Lion’s Roar. 

Touring behind sophomore album The Lion’s Roar, Swedish sister act First Aid Kit made time to stop by BBC 6. There, they participated in the radio station’s tribute to Rolling Stones’ 50th anniversary, giving their spin on Stones’ b-side, “Play With Fire.” (via media | Under The Radar)

To hear First Aid Kit is to undergo a restructuring of what geography means to music. It turns out that the best country-tinged folk album released in 2012 may very well come not from Georgia or the Carolinas or Nebraska or even Washington, but from Sweden.
