First Aid Kit is what these Swedish sisters call themselves and while their album cover may not predict greatness, « The Big Black And Blue » contains a fun batch of indie folk songs. Well, minus the opener… « In The Morning » is a plain annoying song with an a capella start that simply drags on.
But when « Hard Believer » kicks in, yeah baby ! Call ‘em the more alternative version of the Dixie Chicks, I don’t really care. I just want to listen to « Sailor Song » or « Heavy Storm » again so I can enjoy those beautiful vocal harmonies work their magic over sparsely arranged songs.
PS : I honestly think this is the first time in ten years of running this site that I mentioned the Dixie Chicks !
Score : 7 out of 10
