Our Take

First Aid Kit are back with their sophomore album "The Big Black & The Blue", and let me tell you, it's like a breath of fresh sea air on a rainy British day. The Swedish duo, made up of sisters Johanna and Klara Söderberg, have crafted a record that is equal parts haunting and uplifting, just like a trip to the seaside in the middle of winter.

From the opening track "In the Morning", with its folksy acoustic guitars and lush harmonies, to the haunting ballad "I Met Up with the King", this album showcases the sisters' impressive songwriting skills and their ability to transport listeners to another world. The production on this album is top-notch, with each instrument and vocal line sounding crystal clear and perfectly balanced.

One standout track is "Hard Believer", a stomping anthem that will have you tapping your feet and singing along in no time. The lyrics on this album are also worth mentioning, as they dive deep into themes of love, longing, and personal growth. It's like having a heart-to-heart chat with your best friend while walking along the beach.

Overall, "The Big Black & The Blue" is a triumph for First Aid Kit, showcasing their growth as artists while staying true to their folk roots. So grab a cup of tea, put on this sea blue vinyl, and let yourself be swept away by the beautiful melodies and harmonies of this album. Trust me, you won't regret it.
