Stay Gold, the third album from Swedish sisters Johanna and Klara Söderberg, better known as First Aid Kit, arrived on Columbia in June 2014 with Mike Mogis back behind the desk after The Lion's Roar. This time the duo dropped the rule that every song had to work with three people on a stage, and let the sound bloom: a 16-piece orchestra, arranged by Nathaniel Walcott, swells behind their close, sibling harmonies.
The songs are more personal than before, about learning to value what you have while it lasts, since nothing stays put. The title nods to Robert Frost's poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay", and the title track borrows its imagery. "My Silver Lining" rides in on a gallop, and "Waitress Song" and "Stay Gold" deepen the ache. It's indie folk and Americana polished to a glow without losing its warmth.
