The Lion's Roar

Pitchfork 7.6/10 Thanks to Mogis, The Lion's Roar would sound like a very good album even if it wasn’t one-- but likewise would be stunning even if the band had been left to its own devices.

NME 4/5 ‘The Lion’s Roar’ is the sound of a duo growing up and out. And it’s pretty perfect.

Rolling Stone 3.5/5 Check out our album review of Artist's The Lion’s Roar on Rolling Stone.com.

The Skinny 3/5 If 2010's The Big Black & The Blue marked their initial emergence from the backwoods of Stockholm from the resonant echoes of their now notorious Fleet Foxes cover, it's with The Lion’s Roar that the Söderberg sisters reveal their American-inspired full band ambition. Working in Omaha, Nebraska with Mike Mogis, First Aid Kit find themselves able to actualise the sound of their favourite American country records, but with the perfect sombreness of outsiders.

Under The Radar 8.0/10 Throughout, the lyrics ring with honesty and charm, the phrasing gently off at times, emphasizing a missed moment, a passing fancy.

Clash 8/10 The Söderberg sister's follow-up to 2010's intimate 'The Big Black And Blue' is their first full-band recording.

Pop Matters 7/10 At its best, The Lion’s Roar is a staggering, beautiful recreation of the sounds of Americana long gone

The Guardian 4/5 <p>First Aid Kit's extraordinary harmonies make even their glummest sentiments soar, says <strong>Rebecca Nicholson</strong></p>

Beats Per Minute 78% The Lion’s Roar is a quality release, but due to the stand out tracks being placed at the front and the end, the middle section feels weaker than it is

The Telegraph 3/5 First Aid Kit's The Lion's Roar has sumptuous harmonies.
