Here's the video for First Aid Kit's first ever proper single – the follow up to their debut EP 'Drunken Trees', (originally released on The Knife’s Rabid label) released earlier this year in the UK by Wichita Recordings.
Noted for their astonishing interpretations of other artist’s material, First Aid Kit are now unveiling some remarkable songs of their own. The first flourishes can be heard on the ‘Hard Believer’ single due out on 5th October to coincide with their support tour with Slow Club and joint headline tour with Fanfarlo. A masterly assured step forwards, it could even act as an alternative clarion call with the rousingly urgent line: “And it’s one life and it’s this life and it’s beautiful”.
Their forthcoming debut album is due out in early 2010.
