FIRST AID KIT

The Swedish Soderberg sisters Johanna and Klara have delivered a radiant masterpiece with this fourth album, a blood and tears epic of heartbreak. It‘s a shimmering episodic adventure centred on harmonies that swoop and swoon.

Hem Of Her Dress harnesses Ruins’ musical colour, dolorous brass and chord changes, and there’s hot cantering regret (It’s A Shame). Then it’s on to Fireworks, with soul-shivering imagery of frozen lakes and loneliness. Glory in these Ruins.
