Extraordinary Enskede!
Simon Mayo
Presenter
Well I’m working the Bank Holiday, don’t know about you. I might be on my own but I’ll show up if you will. Reckon we’ll do one of those ARF/Tunesday hybrids which are just fabulous darling. There might not be a blog on Monday but there will be a show. I’m trying to not use the word stakhanovite but have just failed...
Wonderful Wednesday dawns cold and cloudy. This is not what we asked for. The winter wardrobe is fortunately not packed away just yet so the chilblains can be kept at bay. But why then is it wonderful? Because FIRST AID KIT will be singing you home, that’s why. Lovely beautiful Swedish harmonies are just what you’ll need. Klara and Johanna Soderbergh have to be one of the more extraordinary sounds of recent years-Nashville songs from Enskede? Where precisely is that anyway? Anyway The Lions Mouth was terrific and the current album Stay Gold is full of top songs. Stand by for Klara and Johanna!
And the contents of your FIRST AID KIT should be plenty to inspire a few jolly tunes tonight don’t you think?
