Swedish sisters Klara & Johanna Söderberg from Stockholm, Sweden play together as First Aid Kit. The produce folksy, harmonized acoustic loveliness. Young and so talented, I hope to hear much more from them. Here is a great original tune sung in their native woods:
Man, I lurve these guys. They meet all my requirements for being groupie-worthy:
- Foreign
- Dreamy
- Lyrically deep
Archive has been around (in one form or another) since 1994 (according to wikipedia.com who would NEVER lie to me). They make sweet electronic sounds that range from moody and retrospective to fucking pissed off. Kinda like me. I lurve that, too.
Here they playing live at the Foire du Trône (hope your French ain't rusty) in Paris April 14, 2006. The Foire du Trône is a very popular fair that, according to the google translator, is about Thrones and gingerbread. I think.
The video. Go watch it:
It hurts to feel
It hurts to hear
It hurts to face it
It hurts to hide
It hurts to touch
It hurts to wake up
It hurts to remember
It hurts to hold on
Turn my head
The hurt's relentless
The hurt of emptiness
The hurt of wanting
The hurt of going on
The hurt of missing
The hurt is killing me
Turn my head
Off
Forever
Turn it off
Forever
Off forever
Turn it off forever
Ever blind

The chick in this video? Yeah, she's got my dream job.Take the sky
For example
A canvas of a billion suns
But our local hero
Shines them out by day
Save for the winking of a Venus or Mars
Even the stars
Sometimes fade to gray
Even the stars
Hideaway
I see the bare moon
Raise his big bald head
I see my friends play the fool
I'll make my own way
In the wide world
Just know I don't want to wander too far
Even the stars
Sometimes fade to gray
Even the stars
Hideaway
Even the stars
Sometimes fade to gray
Even the stars
Hideaway
Some call me
All kinds of names
Some say I don't play the right kind of game
I try to be honest
I try to be kind
And honestly leave when I know that it's time
I know that it's time
Hear a phoebe sing his only song
The summer's day is hovering
I'll write my full heart
Troubles fly like embers
Out the windows of our traveling car
Even the stars
Sometimes fade to gray
Even the stars
Hideaway
In this dream I'm dancing right beside you
And it looked like everyone was havin' fun
The kind of feeling I've waited so long
Don't stop come a little closer
As we jam the rhythm gets stronger
There's nothing wrong with just a little little fun
We were dancing all night long
The time is right to put my arms around you
You're feeling right
You wrap your arms around too
But suddenly I feel the shining sun
Before I knew it this dream was all gone
Ooh I don't know what to do
About this dream and you
I wish this dream comes true
Ooh I don't know what to do
About this dream and you
We'll make this dream come true
Why don't you play the game ?
Why don't you play the game ?
