First Aid Kit 591

First Aid Kit are two Swedish sisters called Klara and Johanna Söderberg who have folk influences from Fleet Foxes, Simon & Garfunkel and Conor Oberst. Neither is a professionally trained musician, both having been taught their first chords, as spoken of in an interview with Vogue, by their guitarist father. Their mother works in film, and they have agreed that this has had a profound impact on the content and production of their music videos.

They became well-known after posting a video of a cover of Fleet Foxes' “Tiger Mountain Peasant Song” in 2008. They released their first full-length LP in 2010, titled The Big Black and Blue. They followed up with the highly-acclaimed The Lion’s Roar in 2012, and Stay Gold in 2014. Ruins was released in January 2018.
