Anyone heard of this band? If you're a fan of The Civil Wars, Head & The Heart, Shovels & Rope, The Heartless Bastards, Fleet Foxes or just good, mellow folksy/americana music, I highly recommend these girls. Looks like they could be on their way to big things as they've recently recorded a single for Jack White's Third Man Records and worked with Mike Mogis of Bright Eyes on their latest album. Check em out, their videos are damn good too

    Glad to see more people getting into them. I got into 'em about a year ago or so when I stumbled onto a video of theirs...probably my favorite performance of "Hard Believer".

    Just downloaded the album on Itunes and I'm really enjoying it. Looking forward to seeing them at Coachella this year.

    these girls are incredible. i saw them open for bright eyes back in september. they sound just as great live. i tried to start a thread about them a while back and no one bit. glad to see they are gaining some interest.

    I've only heard a few songs from them but absolutely love their sound! Beautiful voices! I'll have to check out more.

    Looks like they are i the studios right now for album #4. Several pics on Instagram. Seems like they are recording in Portland Or.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt

    I stand alone without beliefs

    Awesome new single out not related to an album. Probably the most intense and heavy song they've put out. Excited for the new album!

    Looking like new album will prob drop in the fall. 
    New songs have just debuted on their current tour. Plenty of vids on youtube.
    Can't wait.
    Johanna now playing bass and Klara playing electric guitar on some songs.

    Totally missed their tour announcement the other day, but was excited when my wife surprised me with GA tickets for their stop in St. Paul next January 30! So glad they are coming back and lucky they are swinging in to my area.

    Love the new video too.

    Actually tried to push him into adding some animation into his videos. Would have been great doing some animated FAK video. haha.
