First Aid Kit- The Lion’s Roar

Swedish sisters Klara and Johanna Söderberg make up the haunting duo that is First Aid Kit. Their sophomore album, The Lion’s Roar is layered with light and airy tunes that are driven by vocals. The fact that they are sisters is evident on the album; their vocals complement each other, and harmonize so well that at times, it’s hard to tell which sister is singing.

What makes The Lion’s Roar a beautiful album though, is it’s perfect curation. The songs aren’t too repetitive, there is a nice variety, despite a few of the lyrics sounding a tad bit over-emotional.

I have to say that, without a doubt, Emmylou is the standout song off of The Lion’s Roar. It’s just such a stunning song with beautifully blended instruments, deep and twangy vocals, and just an overall romantic folk tone.
