Single Of The Week - First Aid Kit - Hard Believer


Wichita Records have a talent for producing some of the best indie around, of recent years seeing the likes of Los Campesinos, Sky Larkin, Les Savy Fav and, of course Bloc Party gain huge success.
Now with recent signings First Aid Kit I'm sure they are planning great things and with a single as beautiful as this they are certainly off to a great start.
Hard Believer follows on from their debut ep released earlier this year, Swedish sisters Klara and Johanna Soderberg sure know how to write some great music. The acoustic, alt country sound is hard to get right and these two have nailed it.
Their brilliantly layered vocal harmonies that sound purely heavenly caught me the first time I heard it, the simple guitar/piano combo builds up to an unexpectedly epic and uplifting chorus which left me wanting to listen to it over and over again.
