[Critique] «Palomino», First Aid Kit

A little distraught in the ruins From the last time (five years ago, already), thwarted loves and successive breakups, Klara and Johanna Söderberg have pulled themselves together, rebuilding their music house brick by brick. Still steeped in Americanness, still very focused on their revered 1970s, they have nevertheless solidified their habitat in their native Sweden. Ready to Run, the third title, is at the meeting of these worlds. Imagine Fleetwood Mac at ABBA: a more joyfully pop atmosphere, alternating caressing harmonies that characterized the sisterly alliance (Turning Onto You, 29 Palms Highway) and easy unisons leading to immense dancing refrains (Out Of My Head, Angel). We will admit a preference for the way folkie delicate, a nod to the most lasting loves in Wild Horses II : “ We play Wild Horses on the car stereo / You prefer The Rolling Stones, I like Gram’s “. All was not lost in the ruins, we understand. It’s good.
