Johanna and Klara Söderberg are sisters in the Swedish indie folk group First Aid Kit. In their early teens, the couple started creating music together and immediately garnered a social media following, showing their distinctive combination of country and indie folk elements. The vocal harmonies of the sisters are a distinguishing characteristic of their music, with Johanna delivering deeper, richer tones and Klara taking the lead with her clear, soaring voice.
Love, heartbreak, and the search for meaning and connection in the world are common topics in the duo’s music. They’ve received accolades for their ability to merge classic folk and country roots with current sensibilities and themes, resulting in a sound that’s both emotionally evocative and musically appealing.
First Aid Kit became notoriety in 2008 with their version of Fleet Foxes’ “Tiger Mountain Peasant Song,” which went viral on YouTube. The popularity of the cover led the pair to the notice of a larger public, and their debut album, “The Big Black and the Blue,” was published in 2010. Critics and fans alike praised the album, with many giving welcomes to the sisters’ vocal harmonies and compositional ability.

Over the course of their career, First Aid Kit has released several critically acclaimed albums. However, “Stay Gold,” released in 2014, is undoubtedly one of their most famous and beloved albums. It was a watershed moment for the duet, catapulting them to even greater fame and critical acclaim. The title is a gem on the album, with sumptuous orchestration and soaring vocal harmonies that highlight the sisters’ great musical skills. The words of the song examine the concept of holding on, to hope and remaining hopeful in the face of hardship, which is a subject that runs throughout the album.
First Aid Kit is well-known for their activism and advocacy efforts, in addition to their music. They’ve spoken out on subjects like climate change and social justice, and they’ve utilized their platform to raise awareness and donations for a variety of organizations.
