The Lion’s Roar

First Aid Kit

Lush, sister-led harmonies wrapped in warm Americana and pedal steel. The sound of a long road trip through golden landscapes and bittersweet memories.

January 17, 2012 · Wichita

Find on Amazon

A lush, autumnal blend of sisterly harmony and lonesome Americana that feels both ancient and fresh.

Moments Worth Listening For
The spine-tingling moment the sisters' voices lock into a perfect unison during the chorus of Emmylou
The cinematic build of the title track where the drums finally kick in against the haunting autoharp
The raw, stripped-back vulnerability of the vocal delivery on New Year's Eve
