I know the music of two Swedish sisters for about 1 1/2 years and have since everything belongs to me what they have published. "The Lion's Roar" was her best work, even if in some predecessors außergewöhmliche pieces were there, such as "Jagadamba, You Might" (Drunken Trees) or "Ghost Town" (The Big Black & The Blue).
If you compare the atmosphere that could create these songs with the pieces on "Stay Gold" suggests a musical arbitrariness is contrary to almost unbearable here. A myriad of instruments between which the dreamy voices constantly threaten to drown. It is primarily the production blame. In even the quieter location strings are thrown so that sometimes anyway no longer to be localized melodies are finally torn.
Glänzden the previous albums just by the fact that up to the voices sometimes only a solitary guitar was heard or a break began the one with voltage waiting left as it goes on, rattling off on "Stay Gold" the songs in his usual pop monotony through the ears ,
Do not get me wrong: For someone who easily accessible Counrty-, folk pop music is examined here definitely find and get to hear two outstanding singers.
But who still want to hear the skandivanischen origins in the music of First Aid Kit which manages without orchestral accompaniment and thus should be better access to the old works much einprägender sounds. Especially the first album "Drunken Trees" is impressive and at the same time typical of what I lack in "Stay Gold" or too much is.
I actually got a tear in his eye as I write here because what would there still can get everything. Just a pity that Klara and Johanna away on their way from the roots and have instead taken a direction towards shallow Country in Popgewand. Hopefully they come back again. Recently, I have a Akustiversion the single "My Silve Lining" is one in which only Klara guitar plays and both sing and that is amazing. Makes you wonder what you have in the album all the additional tools needed.
