Swedish duo First Aid Kit will release their forthcoming album ‘Ruins’ on 19^th January 2018. Produced by Tucker Martine (My Morning Jacket, Laura Veirs), the album was recorded in Portland, OR where the duo collaborated with amazing musicians REM’s Peter Buck, Wilco’s Glenn Kotche, and Midlake’s McKenzie Smith. ‘Ruins’ includes lead single It’s a Shame as well as Postcard, which premiered via Rolling Stone Country. 

First Aid Kit says “‘Postcard’ is one of the most traditional sounding songs we’ve ever written, and we wanted the production to mirror that. It’s not a resentful song, but more of a reaching out to a lover to wish them well on their journey in the midst of having to let them go.”

‘Ruins’  follows the band’s Columbia Records debut ‘Stay Gold’, a lush and ambitious 10-song collection that beautifully captures their vivid storytelling, landing First Aid Kit countless “Best of 2014” accolades. Earlier this spring, the duo also released a stand-alone single on International Women’s Day entitled You Are The Problem Here.  It is an empowered, passionate, and angry song that confronts the rape culture epidemic, with a portion of proceeds donated to Women for Women International.
