First Aid Kit - Ruins [180g Vinyl LP]

Swedish duo First Aid Kit's new album Ruins follows the band's Columbia Records debut Stay Gold, a lush and ambitious 10-song collection that beautifully captured their vivid storytelling, landing the group on countless Best of 2014 accolades. Produced by Tucker Martine (My Morning Jacket, Laura Veirs), the album was recorded in Portland, OR where Klara (vocals/guitar) and Johanna Söderberg collaborated with top rate musicians like REM's Peter Buck, Wilco's Glenn Kotche and Midlake's McKenzie Smith. Rolling Stone calls lead single It's A Shame, a Dylan-meets-Emmylou Harris shot of country-rock sunshine while the duo note that follow-up, 'Postcard' is one of the most traditional sounding songs we've ever written, and we wanted the production to mirror that. It's not a resentful song, but more of a reaching out to a lover to wish them well on their journey in the midst of having to let them go.
