First Aid Kit has released “Out of My Head,” the lead single from the Söderberg sisters’ fifth studio album Palomino due November 4 via Columbia Records. Arriving alongside the track is the “Out of My Head” official video directed by Jason Lester. Filmed in and around Dublin, the visual draws inspiration from the 2004 Romance/Sci-fi motion picture Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, perfectly embodying the essence of the song.
First Aid Kit has also announced today a UK headline tour set for this autumn with Lola Kirke supporting. The UK tour will open in Glasgow on November 28 followed by dates in Manchester, Cambridge, Birmingham, Liverpool and Cardiff before concluding at London’s Eventim Apollo on December 8.
Written and recorded in their home country of Sweden, Palomino was created during a dark time in global history yet marks First Aid Kit’s most pop-sounding record yet. The 11-track LP was produced by Daniel Bengtson and features “Angel,” the duo’s first offering of new music since 2019 which they released in June. See full tracklisting below. Palomino will be available digitally as well as in various physical configurations including standard black LP, translucent green D2C exclusive LP, white indie retail exclusive LP, and CD.
In speaking about “Out of My Head” First Aid Kit says:
"We wrote this song last year together with songwriter and producer Björn Yttling. It was the first time we wrote for First Aid Kit with someone else and it was very inspiring. The song was written in the spur of the moment, almost like a stream of consciousness. It's about feeling stuck inside your own thoughts and desperately wanting to escape. We produced the song with Daniel Bengtson in Stockholm. It has a bit of a different sound from our previous songs. We wanted the production to feel like an old rock song from the 80s. We were inspired by Fleetwood Mac, Kate Bush and Tom Petty. This is one of our favorite songs we've ever written, we're so proud of it and are so excited to finally get to share it."
