Bio: First Aid Kit is comprised of Swedish sisters Klara (17) and Johanna Söderberg (19) who call Enskede, a district of Stockholm, home. The duo have been steadily inspiring teenage and adult hearts alike since the April 2008 Swedish release of their Drunken Trees EP on The Knife owned, Rabid label. Upon conquering local clubs with their wise-beyond-their-years, country tinged pop, Wichita Recordings signed the young sisters to a worldwide deal in the Fall of 2008. This union resulted in a broader release for the EP, steady UK/European touring, festival appearances and ultimately the completion of their debut album, The Big Black & The Blue. Spring brings the release to North America on May 25th 2010. The album was released abroad this January and is not going unnoticed:
“A masterpiece” 5/5 – Sunday Telegraph
“The Big Black and the Blue is a sparkling jewel that belies the tender year of its creators” 4.5/5 – The Sun
