Our Take

First Aid Kit's latest offering, "Stay Gold," is a shimmering gem in a sea of musical mediocrity. The Swedish duo, made up of sisters Johanna and Klara Söderberg, have truly hit the jackpot with this one.

From the moment the opening track, "My Silver Lining," kicks in, you know you're in for something special. The harmonies are tight, the instrumentation is lush, and the lyrics are as heartbreakingly beautiful as ever. It's like being wrapped in a warm, musical hug.

The standout track for me has to be "Master Pretender." It's a bittersweet ballad that showcases the sisters' impeccable songwriting skills. The way they weave their voices together is nothing short of magical, and the haunting melodies will stay with you long after the final note has faded.

But it's not all melancholy introspection on "Stay Gold." Tracks like "Shattered and Hollow" and "Heaven Knows" inject a dose of foot-stomping energy into the mix, proving that First Aid Kit are just as adept at getting your toes tapping as they are at tugging at your heartstrings.

In conclusion, "Stay Gold" is a triumph from start to finish. It's an album that sparkles with warmth and sincerity, and cements First Aid Kit's status as one of the most exciting acts in folk music today. So do yourself a favour and dive into this musical treasure trove – you won't regret it.
