► First Aid Kit - The Big Black and the Blue (Album Review)
First Aid Kit - The Big Black and the Blue
By Thea Wise
‘The Big Black and the Blue’ uses the collaboration of angelic, melodic and enchanting folk music to overall create a album of music that you’d happily make a baby go to sleep to.
Coming all the way from Stockholm, Sweden, ‘First Aid Kit’ bring you their debut album of beautiful songs that are extremely pleasing to the ear. In my opinion, the album takes a while to really start enjoying; if you’re like me and never listen to a song the whole way through, then you’ll never realise what vocal qualities and musical talent these sisters have on offer. Many of the songs start off slowly, but after a few seconds alter to something quite jolly. In particular, ‘Sailor Song’ made me want to dance around my room in good old folk fashion!
Touring the UK very soon, they’re well worth checking out. Unfortunately the only place they don’t seem to be stopping is Cardiff, so Bristol’s your best shout. Being compared to ‘Fleet Foxes’, these girls are on a mission to melt hearts, not break charts…and if you’re like me and struggling through your dissertation and mounds of essays, this is the perfect album for chilling out to.
