First Aid Kit Shares Title Track "Ruins" from upcoming new album

Of the many artists coming to Coachella in 2018, the one I am most excited about is First Aid Kit. I caught the duo at Coachella in April 2012 and they were impressive. Now they are set to return to Coachellafest on the heels of the release of their new album Ruins that comes out a week from today. You can read my interview with Johanna and Klara Söderberg of First Aid Kit that ran in The Orange County Register here...below is a media release I just released about First Aid Kit...


FIRST AID KIT SHARES TITLE TRACK “RUINS” FROM FORTHCOMING ALBUM

DUO’S FOURTH STUDIO LP RUINS TO BE RELEASED JANUARY 19, AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER NOW
 
2018 HEADLINE TOUR KICKS OFF JANUARY 24; SET TO PERFORM AT COACHELLA AND BONNAROO LATER THIS YEAR

Watch the Official Video for “Fireworks” Now   Today, First Aid Kit has released the title track from their forthcoming album Ruins – check out the live session of “Ruins” HERE. The song is a beautiful reflection on a past relationship that has come to an end: “Ruins all the things we built / Assured that they would last,” sings Klara.   The Swedish duo will release Ruins, their fourth studio album, on January 19 via Columbia Records. Produced by Tucker Martine (My Morning Jacket, Laura Veirs), the album was recorded in Portland, OR where the Söderberg sisters collaborated with the accomplished and talented likes of REM’s Peter Buck, Wilco’s Glenn Kotche, and Midlake’s McKenzie Smith. Consequence of Sound named Ruins one of their “most anticipated albums of 2018,” praising the record is “a rawer sound [with] a willingness to expose more of their inner selves than perhaps ever before.”Ruins is available for pre-order now and includes lead single “It’s A Shame” as well as “Postcard,”“Fireworks,” and “Ruins.” See full track listing below.   In celebration of the album’s release, First Aid Kit will embark on a North American headline tour for the first time since 2015. The run of shows kicks off January 24 in Oakland, CA and concludes February 13 in New York, NY. The duo is also set to perform at Coachella and Bonnaroo later this year.
