Anyone listened to these two girls yet? New album produced by Mike Mogis of Bright Eyes and MOF with a guest spot by Conor Oberst and The Felice Brothers on one track. Give it a listen if your interested.

Ive listened to their first one, and like it. They are also on Bright Eyes cover of The White Stripes "We're gonna be friends".
I listened to it last night on spotify. I like it, but I need a few more listens before I'll be sure. It's nice and mellow. At least it must have been because I fell asleep before the whole album was over. ::)
Don't have the album but I love what I've heard so far.
Yes! Saw them perform at a signing yesterday, they're even better live, amazing voices. Go see them live if you get the chance! :thumbsup: Favorite from last album:
First Aid Kit - Ghost Town (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BKUjnyf8uY#ws)
Favorite cover (though the Fleet Foxes one is brilliant too ofc):
First Aid Kit - Universal Soldier (Buffy-Sainte Marie) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Xq831b2tPg#ws)
Favorite on the new album (changes from day to day):
First Aid Kit performing "Emmylou" on KCRW (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3E88k-AyPUU#)
:D
The Lions Roar is fucking incredible.
took me exactly two listens to fall for them. rolling stone said something in the recent issue (w/ David Bowie on the front I think) that the harmonies on Lion's Roar will probably be unbeatable this year.
I couldn't agree more....I've never fallen for what is technically a country/pop song so hard (Emmylou!!!). I'd love to catch 'em live, jealous Sara.
Emmylou will probably be my #1 song of 2012.

They started their tour just the other day, not sure where you live, but hopefully somewhere near a tour stop so you can go see them :) Tour plans here (http://thisisfirstaidkit.com/tour.php)
Love Emmylou and The Lion's Roar, but In the Hearts of Men is slowly becoming my new current favorite I think... So beautiful! :)
