The Swedish sisters who made their name by posting a Fleet Foxes cover on YouTube are set to release a sophomore album. The title track of this forthcoming LP is another grand exercise in mythic country folk, twanging and beautiful. Like those most influential boys from Seattle, First Aid Kit write personal lyrics laced with nostalgic, pastoral symbolism, evoking long-lost worlds were salt-of-the-earth people live simply and love stoically. Epic and moving.
