Heather Reviews: First Aid Kit.

Don't be confused, I'm talking about a band here! First Aid Kit is a sister duo from Sweden and I'm here to review their most recent album. The album is called "The Lion's Roar" and is jam packed with folk inspired songs. I think this band is very similar to Mumford and Sons, only female.

Some of the songs are very catchy and easy to listen to, but some of them hit very close to me. "New years eve" is a song that really hits my heart, and I really love it. The title song "The Lion's Roar" is a brilliant mixture of lyrics, voice and instruments. Imagine my surprise when I was listening to this cd, and all the sudden the singer from my favourite band started to flow through my speakers. Conor Oberst from Bright Eyes ( amazing band, check them out), makes an appearance in the song " King of Everything". This song is very similar to the music Bright Eyes had on their "I'm Wide awake, It's morning" album.

Overall, I really enjoy the album. The only downside to this album is probably how badly I've been over playing it. I'll probably be annoyed with it in a few months, but that's why they should put out another cd! I would give this album a 4.5 out of 5 stars. It's definitely one of my favourite albums. I'm so glad I randomly stumbled upon this band!

Songs to listen to: in the hearts of men, new years eve, the lion's roar, I found a way.

Sounds like: Mumford and Sons, Bright eyes, Tegan and Sara.

Do I recommend it? YES

Until next time,
Heather
