It's been a little bit quiet around here lately. We're staying in more in favour of movie nights and good home-cooked food rather than braving the chilly and moody weather outside. One minute it's sunshine and then the next howling wind and patchy rain. Though that really is one of winter's hidden charms, don't you think? It makes staying inside so satisfying, and braving the outside for a walk seem like a real accomplishment.
I've been listening to a lot of First Aid Kit lately - I find their music to be the perfect blend of calm yet uplifting rhythms that seem to help carry me through these soggy winter months. Their lyrics make me think of snowy mountains and patches of sunlight on cold, dry winter days.
These are my favourite songs from their album The Lion's Roar, the rest of it is pretty good and it's on spotify if you want to have a listen.
I love First Aid Kit! Have you listened to "When I grow up?" It's my favourite one :-)
ReplyDeleteI love First Aid Kit! I went to see them last year at Scala and I have never heard such beautiful voices before, you could hear a pin drop in the room. Super cute family too, their dad does the sound for them!
ReplyDeleteI'd never heard of these but they have a really great sound! Thanks for the recommendation. I hate hate hate winter though :(
ReplyDeleteGonna give them a listen - thanks for the recommendation

I love first aid kit. They do a great cover of Fleet Foxes' Tiger Mountain Peasant Song. So pretty!

It's been super nippy here in Toronto, Canada so I can relate to the beginning of your post completely. Sometimes walking outside on a chilly sunny day can be energizing, as long as I'm dressed for it. Awesome music! This would be great to play really loud driving on a summer roadtrip in a convertible or with the windows rolled all they way, wind howling.
