First Aid Kit - amazing young band

I'm not sure how I found their music, but I recently stumbled upon the music of this incredibly talented  young duo (two sisters ages 18 and 20).   They call themselves First Aid Kit.  I downloaded their 2011 album "The Big Black and The Blue" a few days ago and was blown away by the glorious harmonies and excellent songwriting that belie their young ages.  Last night I downloaded their new album "The Lion's Roar" off of iTunes and it's also marvelous - sort of cross between Fleet Foxes, Simon & Garfunkel, Jayhawks, and Indigo Girls.  Highly, highly recommended. Here are some clips including their performance at a Patti Smith award ceremony that brought Patti to tears (in a good way).  :)
