"Fireworks" comes from Ruins, First Aid Kit's 2018 album, and the lineup alone tells you how wide the net was cast: Peter Buck turns up on electric guitar, Glenn Kotche handles drums and percussion, and Eyvind Kang adds viola. Johanna and Klara Söderberg share the vocals, with Klara on guitar, Benkt Söderberg on bass and electric guitar, Eli Moore on electric and acoustic guitars and Steve Moore on keyboards.
Tucker Martine produced and recorded it, and Andrew Scheps mixed, and for all that firepower the song still belongs to the two voices at its center.
