Sisters Johanna and Klara Söderberg—a.k.a. First Aid Kit—have unveiled their fifth studio album Palomino, an inspired 11-track affair that showcases their signature vocal harmonies, evocative lyricism and enveloping soundscapes. The follow-up to 2018’s Ruins, Palomino is preceded by the officially released singles “Angel,” “Out of My Head,” “Turning Onto You” and “A Feeling That Never Came.”
“The songs were mostly written during the pandemic,” the duo explains in an official statement. “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!"
