Video: First Aid Kit on Conan

We’re well aware of their abilities in the live cover song department, not to mention originals in the studio, but now comes a new side of First Aid Kit we haven’t raved about around here: their own material performed for U.S. television. The Swedish duo stopped by TBS last night to promote their new record, The Lion’s Roar, on Conan.
