Saturday night: Music you might not have heard but you should!

This beautiful fall Saturday night we are going to explore a Swedish Duo that I have been following for a couple of years called First Aid Kit. Not sure how I found them but I have been glad ever since. Haunting voices, great live melodies, and great instrumentation.






I tend to like the raw versions of their songs but there are polished produced versions out there of them for those of you that may like that better.
Ill try to do this every Saturday night, what genre should I do next? Good music or bad music lol.

They're on tour right now and debuted a brand new song in NYC last night.

If their instrumentation gets more polished and they get some decent production, they could really attract a huge following.

That was 5 years ago. My daughter sang this song as part of a project when she was in 5th grade:

Hope this linked correctly.

I'm proud that my daughter has developed her own taste in music, and it's good!
