With their incredibly promising debut LP garnering much-deserved praise and a Jack White-produced single that helped a new legion of fans, First Aid Kit’s Klara and Johanna Söderberg are ready to unveil their sophomore effort, produced by Bright Eyes’ Mike Mogis and recorded at his Omaha, Nebraska studio earlier this year. Before the record drops, however, the Swedish folk duo have some high-profile supporting gigs on the way for the fall.
In September, First Aid Kit will open up a string of U.S. tour dates for Mogis’ Conor Oberst-led group, the aforementioned Bright Eyes. Then, in November, they’ll join fellow Swede Lykke Li for 8 more stops. We’re looking forward to hearing the record, but for now, catch potential previews of new material at the following shows:
