#SongOfTheWeek: First Aid Kit - Wolf

I recently found First Aid Kit on one of my many Spotify sessions and fell in love with their sound immediately. It's hard to try and describe what genre of music they fall in to, it's a mix between country, folk and a bit of pop acoustic, does that make sense? I don't think it does.

This is true festival music, the sort of song you whip out your Indian headdresses to, swing your flowing gypsy skirts and jingle jangle your excessive amount of bangles. I've been sat here for a while trying to think of what it sounds similar to, and the only thing I can come up with is a mix between Florence and the Machine and Laura Marling. Wolf is from their 2012 debut album, Lion's Roar, and was a single which unfortunately never made it to the charts. Its strong beat and gorgeous harmonies are a pleasure to listen to and make you want to throw out some Kate Bush style arm gestures whilst dancing around a campfire. 

This Swedish sister act is relatively new to the music scene, but I think they'll be extremely popular this summer. Their new album, Stay Gold, will be released on the 9th June, right on time for festival season.

What do you think of Wolf? A bit too country or perfect summer tune?
