Listen: First Aid Kit - "The Lion's Roar"

Swedish siblings Clara and Johanna Söderberg -- aka First Aid Kit -- graduate from dewy, baby-faced teen folk prodigies to breakout indie Americana queens with their forthcoming January 24 album The Lion's Roar. They also move confidently from the bedroom acoustic lo-fi gems of their debut The Big Black and the Blue to a richly tailored country/rock sound thanks to a full band (which includes their dad on bass), and the attuned ears of Bright Eyes producer Mike Mogus. The title track of The Lion's Roar shows what we're in for: timeless barstool twang and brilliant Indigo-styled vocal harmonies bumping up against alt-folk strains, all tossed into a 70's retro hopper.

Their dresses make Clara and Johanna Söderberg look like their 6feet tall. So cool!
