Sweden’s First Aid Kit, have already been announced to make their thrilling return to Australia next autumn for a series of headline shows along the east coast, including, Melbourne’s Palais Theatre on Friday 6th March, The Tivoli in Brisbane on Tuesday 10th March and the Enmore Theatre in Sydney on Wednesday 11th March as well as festival appearances at Perth Festival and Golden Plains in Victoria.
The dreamy duo will be joined by indie-folk twosome, Luluc. There’s no question that everything these Australians (who split their time between Melbourne and their adopted hometown of Brooklyn) have done in their lives has been leading up to their latest release Passerby, their second album overall and first available worldwide through Sub Pop. Co-produced by the band and The National’s Aaron Dessner, Passerby shows off all of Luluc’s best qualities, retaining the gentle beauty of the duo’s debut, the wonderfully understated, Dear Hamlyn, while adding extra textures built with the assistance of a cadre of impressive players.
Much has changed for the Söderberg sisters in the past six years. They had been earning a stellar reputation recording and performing as a teenaged duo in Sweden, when their profile began to soar globally. In 2010, they released their debut LP, The Big Black & The Blue, which prompted critical raves and dates with everyone from Patti Smith and Jack White to Lykke Li and Bright Eyes. As long time fans, this too brought with them the introduction to Bright Eyes’ producer Mike Mogis who they went on to work with on their 2012 release, The Lion’s Roar. Stay Gold once again saw the sisters head back to the Omaha, Nebraska studio with Mogis’, whose immense echo and orchestrations compliment their sublime drifter poetry perfectly.
To celebrate the duo’s visit, Tone Deaf have a double pass to each show to give away- enter your details below for a chance to win!
