The Lion's Roar, the sophomore release by sisters Johanna & Klara Söderberg, was the first album to really grab me this year. Hailing from Stockholm, Johanna & Klara, at the ripe old ages of 22 and 19, are making some seriously good americana music. Listening to The Lion's Roar, I was repeatedly taken by the warmth and beauty of the vocal harmonies achieved by them. There is also such an authenticity to what First Aid Kit is doing here musically that I had to keep reminding myself they were from Sweden and not from the heartland of America. They are a great reminder that this wonderful style of music belongs to everyone. The Lion's Roar is a great way to kick off your 2012 musical collection.

What I love about music is its power to transport me. Sometimes it’s unexpected, sometimes it’s exactly where I want to be. A single melody can unlock memories I didn’t realize I still carried, while certain chords or lyrics take me to another time or place. Some songs feel like home, offering shelter, while others deliver me to an unknown place or space, stirring emotions I can’t quite name. In this way, music isn’t just sound—it’s a sonic subway, delivering me to a station of refuge or one I never knew existed.
