First Aid Kit debuted their video for "The Lion's Roar," the title track off their upcoming Jack White-produced full length, which drops Jan. 24, 2012. The video (directed by Mats Udd) does well to match the dark, majestic vibe of the track and is beautifully shot. Enjoy.

Good things are continuing to happen to these young Swedish sisters, a.k.a. First Aid Kit. They have somehow managed to maintain blogosphere buzz while slowly trickling in to the mainstream for a few years now; it is refreshing to see. We remember Matt's first post about them back in March 2008 (read HERE.) Now, they are on the brink of releasing their sophomore, Jack White-produced LP, The Lion's Roar which drops January 24th on Wichita Recordings. Yesterday, the sisters premiered the title track from their album on NPR's 'All Songs Considered,' which is available above. Soon, the ladies join Lykke Li on a large set of dates in the UK and US taking them in to December. Things are lining up well!

Tour dates after the jump.

Oh how they've grown since our first post on them years (wow, years) ago. After some apparent woodshedding, and of course, some work with Jack White (why not?), First Aid Kit, aka sisters Klara and Johanna Söderberg have teamed with ace producer Mike Mogis, honed their writing, and matured a lot, it seems.

After a shaky debut, First Aid Kit's promising second LP, The Lion's Roar drops January 24th. More to come!
