First Aid Kit are a Swedish folk duo composed of sisters Johanna and Klara Soderberg, both under 21 years of age. Their close vocal harmonies and woodsy, folk-influenced songwriting take influences from the likes of Fleet Foxes and Joanna Newsom. Hailing from Enskede, a southern suburb of Stockholm, the teenaged siblings began composing songs in 2007. This video is "Tangerine" from their EP Drunken Trees.
Until now they have been rightfully praised for their infamous cover of "Tiger Mountain Peasant Song," by Fleet Foxes, which made them a hit on YouTube. They are now unleashing some remarkable songs of their own. Their debut album The Big Black and The Blue, is built around the sweeping majesty and almost telekinetic, intricate weaving of their voices. The Soderberg's distil all of their collective influences and make them their own on this beautiful album.

As Johanna gets better at the guitar the better the band will be.
