They loom large in his legend (The Album Collection playlists): Part 1; Part 2; Part 3; Part 4; Part 5; Part 6; Part 7
Active compensatory factors: This is my second First Aid Kit album (their third). I was first hooked by Palomino in 2024.

Stay Gold was released in 2014, but it sounds very similar to Palomino, and is as good as that album, in my opinion. The sisters have that sibling thing where their voices gel superbly. The music is often genre blending - part country, part folk - hence the Americana tag.
There are plenty of great songs on Stay Gold. With a few more listens (I've just bought it), I'm picking it will get up to classic five-star status.
Where do they all belong? Two excellent First Aid Kit albums squared away!
