First Aid Kit

Let me introduce you to, First Aid Kit, the magical sisters Johanna and Klara from Sweden. First Aid Kit formed 2007 and has since then taken the world by storm, yesterday they released their second album, "The Lion's Roar". They create American inspired folk music that has its own breathing in an intensely beautiful dream. Their melody and lyrics are painfully familiar that exudes youthful strength and weaknesses. Their music is untouched and comes from a hidden place deep within, where the sound can embrace me . When I heard them for the first time a few years ago, I was mesmerized, they had enchanted me. I hope you will feel the same.

Museum Of Bellas Artes

A three piece band from Sweden. Where the music can be described as harmonious indie pop and light 70s disco mixed with cheerful synths in combination with flutes. The result can be compared as late summer, sun-bleached hair, ocean waves and the twitter of birds in the air. Listen and just dream away.

Jónsi

Jón Þór Birgisson aka Jónsi is (or was, since they are on a hiatus) the singer of the wonderful, icelandic post-rock/dreampop band Sigúr Ros. This is his first solo album (though he has made one or two with his boyfriend Alex). Go is an album I would use to describe happiness. It's full of colour and sunlight, and will definitely be my soundtrack to the next summer. Or this spring. Probably both.
 Oh, almost forgot. There is a live version of the album as well, but I haven't heard it yet. I've heard that he is an awesome live perfomer.

Oh, since I don't have Spotify on this computer, and don't have permission to install it either, I probably won't post as many Spotify-links anymore. Though all of you thousands of readers and followers (I wish) can look the bands up yourselves, right? FYI, I'm pretty sure that you can find Jónsi on Spotify.
