Review by Joe Goggins

First Aid Kit’s lack of edge is beginning to look less like prudent risk aversion and more like self-inflicted damage»

Swedish duo First Aid Kit release their highly anticipated album Ruins. 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 follows the band's ARIA top 10 Stay Gold, a lush and ambitious 10-song collection that beautifully captures their vivid storytelling, landing First Aid Kit countless Best of 2014 accolades. Lyrically and sonically, Ruins helps First Aid Kit gives listeners a mature, realized and often heartbreaking version of this young band's oeuvre.
