Swedish folk-pop duo First Aid Kit release their debut album in a couple of weeks, entitled The Big Black & The Blue. Being folk-pop, we don't think the title has anything to do with the Steve Albini-led band, but you can never write off any more hidden influences.
The record's out on Wichita on February, we reviewed it here. We've got a lovely little clip of them performing at their album showcase in London, waaaaaaaay back on December 7 last year. The track is 'I Met Up With The King', which is released as a single on March 1!
The girls also did a track-by-track review of their album. Click here for that.
