8.3.10

By the way: this is stunning...

First Aid Kit are Swedish and spooky and Romantic (with a capital 'R' and everything) and we are about a million years late on writing about them. To our credit, we did know about them 'back when' but as with a lot of things we were just too darn busy being busy to hactually write about 'em. We are correcting this now, because we are not incorrigible. Anyway this is stunning, and it's probably a single (so go buy it) as it's got a music video and everything and that's usually the way the music so-called industry works.

There's an amazing bit in this song (which for fact fans is called "I Met Up With A King") at 2:10 when the warbling sisters sing "well thank GOOOOOOOOD" in the manner of a bored teenager having a hissy fit about tidying their room and omg you are such a fascist, mum and I hate you because you have ruined my life and guess what, you think I'm so pure but you don't know anything about me because last week I went to Gazzer's party and snogged a girl so I'm a lesbian now as well as a Communist which you would never understand because you weren't a child or a teenager and you never had fun you soul-sucking evil demon of the crypt. Now make me a sandwich and drive me into town please.

It's fabolos.
