Ruins

First Aid Kit

A heavy-hearted breakup record drenched in pedal steel and seventies Americana. Lush, sisterly harmonies provide a warm shell for cold, hard truths.

January 19, 2018 · Columbia

Find on Amazon

A weary but beautiful meditation on the wreckage of a relationship, wrapped in warm 70s country-rock textures.

Dusk saturates this record far more than the artist's norm.
