First Aid Kit: Ruins
- Swedish sister duet First Aid Kit have been treating us to subtly beautiful songwriting for almost ten years and their fourth record Ruins is no exception to that. A ten-tracker full of soft ballads, this is a prime example of their musical expertise.
The vocal harmonies that ring out in many places on the album are impeccable – it really shows that the thing they say about siblings singing together is true right? The marriage of their two unique voices works so well: a vocal match made in heaven.
