First Aid Kit
Stay Gold is the title of the next album from the Swedish sister duo First Aid Kit.
Mike Mogis of Bright Eyes will once again produce as he did on 2012’s The Lion’s Roar.
“My Silver Lining” is the gorgeous first track.
First Aid Kit
Last year we featured a preview of First Aid Kit’s album The Lion’s Roar.
This is their first American-recorded album and their second full-length since their 2010 debut The Big Black & Blue.
These two Swedish sisters recorded in Omaha with Bright Eyes’ Mike Mogis producing.
“Blue” is the new single.
Bright Eyes
Beginning in 1998 Bright Eyes was singer/songwriter/guitarist Conor Oberst and a revolving cast of musicians.
Since 2006 the band has settled into the permanent trio of Oberst, Mike Mogis and Nathaniel Walcott, while utilizing the talents of varying contributing musicians from the Omaha music scene.
Prolific and profound, the new Bright Eyes album is entitled The People’s Key.
Two free songs are available from the Saddle Creek website under the “downloads” section.
“Shell Games” is one of them.

The Roots
In my first Podcast “Dear God 2.0” by Monsters of Folk was included as one of the best of 2010 thus far. (Monsters of Folk is a modern-day supergroup consisting of Jim James from My Morning Jacket, Conor Oberst and Mike Mogis of Bright Eyes and M. Ward.) The Roots, one of the great American hip hop bands (and currently the house band for Late Night with Jimmy Fallon) brilliantly use the song as a basis for their own commentary on the current crisis of contemporary life. From The Roots new album How I Got Over, “Dear God 2.0” is the Song of the Day.
