First Aid Kit return with their mesmerizing new single It’s A Shame, out now on Columbia Records. This new offering from Swedish sisters Klara and Johanna Söderberg, follows the band’s Columbia Records debut Stay Gold, which was released in 2014 to mass critical acclaim and was certified platinum in Sweden, Gold in the UK, Ireland, Netherlands, Norway and Australia.

It’s A Shame marks a new chapter in the Söderberg sister’s lives: they have grown up, experienced heartache, love and loss.

Following a career affirming performance on the Pyramid stage at Glastonbury this year, the band play a very special UK fan show at Shoreditch Town Hall, with support from Van William.

Hailing from a southern suburb of Stockholm, Klara and Johanna began composing songs as teenagers in 2007. The sisters released two studio albums with Wichita Records—The Big Black And The Blue in 2010 and The Lion’s Roar in 2012, featuring stand-out single Emmylou, which prompted Rolling Stone to name the song one of its “10 Best Singles of 2012,” saying “you may not hear a more beautifully sung record this year.”
