Sisters Johanna and Klara Söderberg—a.k.a. First Aid Kit—have unveiled “Out of My Head” as the official lead single for their forthcoming fifth studio album Palomino, due for arrival on November 4th courtesy of Columbia Records. The follow-up to the recently recently track “Angel,” the single “was written in the spur of the moment, almost like a stream of consciousness,” the duo explains in an official statement. “It's about feeling stuck inside your own thoughts and desperately wanting to escape.”

Of the album, which follows Ruins (2018), the pair explains, “The songs were mostly written during the pandemic. In such dark times, music felt like an escape from all the horrible things going on in the world. We wanted this album to feel more upbeat and cheerful than our previous album Ruins, which was a break-up record. It's probably our most pop sounding record yet. We took inspiration from all over the place - old acts such as Fleetwood Mac, Carole King, Tom Petty, T Rex, Elton John but also Angel Olsen, Whitney, and Big Thief. The title is a reference to freedom, learning how to stand on your own two feet. Growing older and feeling more comfortable in your own skin. Riding off on a Palomino!"
