Swedish sister duo First Aid Kit will return with their latest LP early next year. Titled Ruins, it's due out on January 18 via Columbia.
The record marks the full-length follow-up to 2014's Stay Gold, though the band did deliver one-off protest song "You Are the Problem Here" earlier this year.
Ruins was recorded in Portland with producer Tucker Martine, and also hears sisters Klara and Johanna Söderberg collaborating with guest musicians like R.E.M.'s Peter Buck, Wilco's Glenn Kotche and Midlake's McKenzie Smith.
The new 10-song offering includes previously shared single "It's a Shame," but the two-piece have also given fans another preview of the new material with the unveiling of "Postcard." See the complete LP tracklisting and stream that track down below.
First Aid Kit have also announced plans to embark on a North American tour at the end of January. It will include Canadian stops in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal, and you can see the full list of dates down below, as well.
