Artist: First Aid Kit
Song: “Fireworks”
Album: Ruins (due in stores January 19th)
Pre-Order: Official Store | Amazon | iTunes
Upcoming Tour: Dates

Following the recent unveiling of “It’s a Shame” and “Postcard,” First Aid Kit have shared the third taste of their forthcoming fourth studio album Ruins. "We're so excited to finally share ‘Fireworks,’” the sibling duo of Klara and Johanna Söderberg explain in an official statement. “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."

Due in stores January 19th via Columbia Records, Ruins includes collaborations with R.E.M.’s Peter Buck, Wilco’s Glenn Kotche, and Midlake’s McKenzie Smith.
