First Aid Kit Fireworks

Forthcoming Album Ruins

To anticipate the release of their forthcoming album Ruins, First Aid Kit have released their latest single Fireworks. Listen to Fireworks HERE. First Aid Kit says: "We're so excited to finally share Fireworks. It's a track that we put a lot of emotions into. We love the arrangement we created for it with our producer Tucker Martine, borrowing from classic 50's ballads and mixing it with Twin Peaks-guitars and synths. It's a song about the ideals you set for yourself in life and how they can break you down, leaving you all alone at the end. "

First Aid Kit will release Ruins, their fourth studio album, on January 19 via Columbia Records and Sony Music Entertainment Australia. Produced by Tucker Martine (My Morning Jacket, Laura Veirs), the album was recorded in Portland, OR where the duo collaborated with amazing musicians " REM's Peter Buck, Wilco's Glenn Kotche, and Midlake's McKenzie Smith. RUINS is available for pre-order NOW and includes lead single It's A Shame as well as Postcard and Fireworks. See full tracklisting below.

Before the captivating duo return to Australia to perform 4 headline shows and appear at Bluesfest in Byron Bay, First Aid Kit will embark on a 2018 North American headline tour, kicking off 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. First Aid Kit have recently toured the U.S., having performed at both Austin City Limits and San Francisco's Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festivals. Check out their performance of -It's A Shame' at Austin City Limits HERE.

Ruins follows the 2014 release of Stay Gold, a lush and ambitious 10-song collection that beautifully captures the duo's vivid storytelling, landing First Aid Kit countless Best of 2014 accolades. Earlier this spring, First Aid Kit also released a stand-alone single on International Women's Day entitled You Are The Problem Here.  It is an empowered, passionate, and angry song that confronts the rape culture epidemic, with a portion of proceeds donated to Women for Women International.
