VIDEO: FIRST AID KIT – ‘WOLF’
First Aid Kit have unveiled the dreamlike and kaleidoscopic video for their new single ‘Wolf’ which is out now on Wichita Recordings. Shot in the forest of Järvsö, Hälsingland in Sweden and directed by Johan Söderberg. “It’s about our destruction of the planet,” said the band. “But it’s also about finding the animal within you.
