“Wow, I don’t know what it is, but these two girls have the most innocent and beautiful sound I have ever heard. It may be just me, but it is heavenly sounding.”

According to a recent Swedish interview, in addition to ‘Who by Fire’, First Aid Kit are working on new material which they hope to release in 2022. The writing process is expected to continue throughout the year and the music may go in a more positive direction than before. Klara and Johanna have made it clear the new album will not be a break-up record … they think!
