First Aid Kit today release their exclusive iTunes Session, recorded at New York’s Sear Sound in July
The session highlights Swedish sisters Klara and Johanna Söderberg’s songwriting and performance prowess, here augmented by a full string section for the first time. These eight tracks are slightly restyled arrangements of four songs found on their acclaimed sophomore LP The Lion’s Roar; one each from debut album The Big Black and the Blue and their Drunken Trees EP; live staple and next single “Wolf” and their celebrated cover of Patti Smith’s “Dancing Barefoot”, never before recorded. The Lion’s Roar producer Mike Mogis (Bright Eyes, Monsters Of Folk) performs on all tracks, while Conor Oberst reprises his guest verse on “King of the World.”
