Featuring five additional tracks, Palomino Deluxe (Child of Summer Edition) builds on the themes of their November LP that touch on life in the wake of loss and love. See full tracklist below. The deluxe album is accompanied by a visualizer for “Everybody’s Got to Learn,” which was shot on Super8 by their frequent creative collaborator Olof Grind – watch HERE. In speaking about today’s release, First Aid Kit says: “When it comes to creating our albums, we tend to write more songs than we actually need. This was the case with our latest record Palomino. During the studio sessions, we recorded four new songs that we felt were incredibly special, along with an acoustic string version of our song ‘Angel.’ We couldn’t imagine not getting to share them with our listeners. Among these new tracks, ‘Everybody's Got To Learn’ holds a deep personal meaning for us. The song revolves around the idea that everyone has their own unique journey in life, and no matter how much you may want to guide or influence someone, they ultimately need to find their own way. We love the positive 1960s vibe that contradicts the lyrics and hope you do too!” Following their sold-out West Coast trek in May, First Aid Kit will return to North America next week for the East Coast run of their international ‘Palomino Tour’ with The Weather Station supporting. The Swedish sister duo will kick things off in Nashville with a sold-out show at Ryman Auditorium on July 12 followed by dates in Washington DC, Philadelphia, Boston, and more. First Aid Kit will play New York City’s infamous Radio City Music Hall on July 18, a marquee moment for the girls who are revered for their live performance.

We have formed a deep connection with our listeners here, and it feels like we share a unique bond. We can’t wait! Radio City Music Hall is such an iconic venue. A decade ago, we had the incredible opportunity to open for Rodriguez there, and we were absolutely amazed by the grandeur of the place. Ever since that unforgettable experience, our dream has been to headline our own show at Radio City. And now, finally, that dream is coming true, and we couldn't be more thrilled!” Palomino, available digitally as well as in various physical configurations HERE, was originally released last November to the praise of critics and fans alike. Under the Radar claimed, “[First Aid Kit] strike melodic gold once more with some of their most uplifting and pop-centric songs to date…” while Mojo stated, “once heard, wild horses won’t drag you away.” |
