DRIAN THRILLS: The reappearance of fellow Swedes First Aid Kit's first new songs in over five years won't be able to stand on pop's Richter scale. Ruins, the band's last studio album, debuted at No. 3 in the UK charts at the start of 2018, but Palomino's playful harmonies were also persuasive. Palomino was created in Stockholm by the group, sisters Klara and Johanna Soderberg, who appeared in their hometown for the first time since 2010. Palomino is sunny and tenacious unlike Ruins, a heartache LP inspired by the end of Klara's marriage. There are traces of the folky Americana of the band's first albums - records that gained them a surprising admirer in former Prime Minister David Cameron, who admitted to'sneaking in' to one of their early UK shows at Shepherd's Bush Empire in 2012.
