Currently spinning: First Aid Kit - The Lion’s Roar

—-

I was very excited when I found out about this album. I put in a special order at the record store and just got around to picking it up today. Well worth the wait. I’m now on my second listen. They both sound much more confident and at home in their own voices. The songwriting is solid and a little bit surprising coming from two teenage girls. What really got me smiling was the finale — with guest vocals by Conor Oberst. It’s been a long, long time since I’ve heard his quavering voice sing, well, anything. 

Really a lovely album all together.
