10. This Old Routine (The Lion’s Roar, 2012)
“This song gives me such a nostalgic feeling, right from the first time I heard it… I’ve only been listening to this albums for about 2 weeks. I love these sisters”
9. My Silver Lining (Stay Gold, 2014)
“This Swedish country-folk song is used as the background for the Renault Kadjar ad. It’s a pleasant and catchy song with nice singing.”
8. In the Hearts of Men (The Lion’s Roar, 2012)
“I think the lyrics really capture what it feels like to be a man. The “toxic masculinity” garbage that you hear being thrown around is wildly inaccurate. People expect so much out of you as a man. We are raised with the notion that we are only worth what we can provide such as money, food, comedy, warmth, good sex. We are taught that we are only valuable if we are competitive and skillful. We are pushed to play a part to convince others that we are worth it just as the lyrics state”
7. Dance to Another Tune (The Lion’s Roar, 2012)
“So true. Klara has an outstanding beautiful voice but Johanna’s is darker… almost a bit erotic. Hopefully there will be more songs with her voice up front in the future.”

6. You’re Not Coming Home Tonight (The Big Black & The Blue, 2010)
“The best part about these girls music is the simplicity. There’s not too much going on. Just great guitar ( and autoharp!, great harmonies and great lyrics. I can really be moved by songs that don’t have a bunch of other things in there to separate. I fell in love with this music.”
5. Wolf (The Lion’s Roar, 2012)
“Kind of a Lion’s Roar leftover, it did appear on some bonus versions of that particular album. Not sure if it was written after the original release because man…it’s great. It should have been included on the record if in fact they did have it laying around. Anyway, you gotta get this song in your ears.”
4. Blue (The Lion’s Roar, 2012)
“These girls are the real deal. I have all 4 of their albums, and a couple singles. Talented singers, beautiful harmonies…but what consistently blows me away is the songwriting. Thoughtful, honest lyrics, original creative melodies and smart arrangements.”

3. The Lion’s Roar (The Lion’s Roar 2012)
“This is it. This is real music. Deep, folky rhythms with a taste of the blues. A few Dylanesque and other musical roots show through as these ladies know where the sound comes from. This album is better than the first, although the first is very good. FAK stretched themselves for this one I believe. I hope they continue to evolve. This album is one I can listen to over and over.”
2. King of the World (The Lion’s Roar 2012)
“These girls are totally brilliant and remind me of the young Bob Dylan. It is hard enough to be a poet in your own language, but at a very young age they are poets in another language”
1. Emmylou (The Lion’s Roar 2012)
“Finding out that this heart-warming if sugarcoated tune was the work of Swedish indie folk sisters First Aid Kit came as a bit of a surprise. I’s never have associated them with a track that has hit written all over it. Anyway, you might still argue that it’s too polished, but it’s definitely lovely.”
