First Aid Kit to release 'Ruins' in January

Swedish band First Aid Kit will release their forthcoming album "Ruins" on January 19.

Produced by Tucker Martine, the album was recorded in Portland. "Ruins" includes the lead single "It's a shame" as well as "Postcard".

"'Postcard' is one of the most traditional sounding songs we've ever written, and we wanted the production to mirror that. It's not a resentful song, but more of a reaching out to a lover to wish them well on their journey in the midst of having to let them go," First Aid Kit said in a joint statement.

First Aid Kit, consisting of sisters Klara and Johanna Söderberg, will embark on a 2018 North American headline tour, kicking off on January 24 at the Fox Theatre in Oakland and continuing through a final night at New York City's Beacon Theatre, with Van William supporting.
