Interview First Aid Kit: “The next record might not be as sad”

First Aid Kit released their fourth album ‘Ruins’ back in January, and have been touring it non-stop around the world since. Stopping at this month’s Bestival, we caught up with Klara and Johanna Söderberg to chat all about their whirlwind six months.

As well as reflecting on the heartbreak that inspired the record, the pair tell us that they’ve already started preliminary work on its follow-up, which is set to be a good deal more uplifting.

First Aid Kit head out on a huge UK tour with The Staves later this year, including two shows at London’s Brixton Academy - listen to ‘Ruins’ and read our chat with the pair below.
