"Rebel Heart" comes off Ruins, the fourth album by Swedish folk duo First Aid Kit, released on 19 January 2018. Tucker Martine produced and recorded it, and the credits run deep: R.E.M.'s Peter Buck on guitar alongside Klara Söderberg, Wilco's Glenn Kotche on drums and percussion, Eli Moore on electric guitar, Melvin Duffy on pedal steel, Eyvind Kang on viola, Paul Brainard on trumpet and Benkt Söderberg on bass. Klara and Johanna Söderberg sing it, and Andrew Scheps mixed.
The record came after a crash. Since breaking through with their 2008 Fleet Foxes cover, the sisters had toured and recorded with no real break, three albums in six years, until both of them hit the wall. They stepped back, and for months they didn't even speak.
