Together, they&#8217;ve crafted a trio of albums largely comprised of folk alternative music. In 2018, they&#8217;re coming out with their fourth studio album, titled <em>Ruins<\/em>. Their single, &#8220;Fireworks,&#8221; is a sweet keynote that hopefully paves the way for the rest of the album to follow. Gentle plucks of strings and tinkling piano notes open up the song, leading into a slow crescendo of sound that envelopes the listener. In comes the chorus, as the sisters vocalize a beautiful melody: &#8220;Why do I do this to myself? Every time, I know the way it ends. Before it&#8217;s even begun, I&#8217;m the only one at the finish line.&#8221; There&#8217;s a certain nostalgia that comes from hearing the chorus, one that may have you missing someone or something from a life you&#8217;ve never actually lived. &#8220;Fireworks&#8221; artfully executes excellent instrumentation with chilling emotive vocals, making it well worth a spot on your playlist.<br \/>\n<b><br \/>\nRecommended If You Like: The Tallest Man on Earth, Rilo Kiley, Fleet Foxes<br \/>\nRecommended Tracks: 1 (Fireworks)<br \/>\nDo Not Play: N\/A<br \/>\nWritten by Savannah Adams on 01\/17\/2018 <\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Self-awareness and nostalgia come together in this passionate croon of a tune by Swedish folk alternative duo First Aid Kit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18173,"featured_media":65344,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,3235,181],"tags":[7943,1212,6623],"class_list":["post-65343","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music","category-music-reviews","category-rock-rotation","tag-fireworks","tag-first-aid-kit","tag-savannah-adams"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/96791-M-LO.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65343","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/18173"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=65343"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65343\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/65344"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=65343"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=65343"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=65343"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
