Album Review: First Aid Kit’s Tender Offerings Are Welcomingly Romantic

First Aid Kit’s Ruins was exceptionally fierce. It was an album built for the country-pop heart that dares to bask in her own femininity. For these Swedish sisters, being a woman is a balance between romantic and resilient. We are strong because we are vulnerable, and we are open-hearted because we have been shut out so many times. Hence, Tender Offerings is their four track EP/ homage to delicacy of having a beating, womanly heart. 

Technically, Tender Offerings are the four songs that did not make it onto Ruins. For these ladies, these precious songs did not fit the bombastic folk-nature of the album. Instead, they truly felt like tender offerings; too sweet and soft in scope to be fluidly aligned with their other tracks. Once, you hear such gorgeous tracks like, “I’ve Wanted You” and “All That We Get,” you will understand their point. Instrumentally, you feel every hook, melody, and chorus was precisely and clearly made as a cloud creates a raindrop. This duo turn their guitar melodies into field of amber strings dancing in the suns of their voices like grains move with daylight.

Klara and Johanna truly have voices that brighten like the ocean during the sunrise. They are so naturally and stilly beautiful; working to make every note feel like the most unforced force. In some ways, their ability to give you vast power on a simple range, allows you to dream of love in  nature; picturing yourself holding your lover’s hands by a waterfall or kissing under the stars over a canyon’s edge. Thus, First Aid Kit’s vocality is truly the spark for your nobler imaginings on love; transforming songs such as, “Tender Offerings” and “Ugly” into fantasied episodes of a delicious, soapy love story.
