First Aid Kit: “Emmylou” (Official Video)
First Aid Kit filmed a clip for their new homage to Gram Parsons, Emmylou Harris, Johnny Cash, and June Carter in the perfect location: Joshua Tree National Park, one of Parsons’ favorite haunts and — according to a famous ’70s rock story — his final resting place. Not only did the Swedish duo get the setting and reverent allusion to that story just right, but they also shot this scenic video on what would have been Parsons’ 65th birthday last November. Above, enjoy the Maximilla Lukacs-directed clip and excellent Mike Mogis-produced single from The Lion’s Roar.

Real American music, not the other crap played on that stage last night. Watch the faces of the other “musicians”, even they are in awe and impressed. Because that is what passion looks like.

Bright Eyes, First Aid Kit Cover White Stripes
The Lion’s Roar, First Aid Kit’s forthcoming Mike Mogis-produced LP, isn’t the only collaboration with Bright Eyes the Swedish folk duo have on the way, as they’ve now teamed up with their recent tourmates for a cover of the White Stripes’ modern twee classic “We’re Going to be Friends” on charity compilation Cool for School: For the Benefit of the Lunchbox Fund. As P4K reports, the covers collection also includes cuts from the Strokes’ Albert Hammond Jr. (streaming here), Joseph Arthur, Jonathan Wilson, Luke Rathborne, and more. One week ahead of the set’s release, preview Conor Oberst’s synth/drum machine-backed duet with Klara and Johanna Söderberg above.

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]The Morning Benders Cover The Strokes - “Last Nite”
Celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Strokes’ 2001 debut, Is This It, Stereogum have curated a nice little covers collection featuring new renditions of each of the LP’s 11 original tracks by Austra, Peter Bjorn & John, Real Estate, and others. One standout comes from the incredibly consistent San Francisco indie group the Morning Benders, fearlessly taking on the Strokes’ breakout hit, “Last Nite.” Listen above as singer Chris Chu and friends reimagine the modern garage-rock classic as a danceable synth-pop jam. An MP3 is available with the rest of the compilation here.
