“I’ll be your Emmylou and I’ll be your June / You’ll be my Gram and my Johnny, too,” sing the Söderberg sisters in the latest taste of their upcoming album, The Lion’s Roar — a fitting tribute to a few greats whom they’ve honored with cover songs in the past. While the title track followed First Aid Kit as they explore darker territory, this understated ditty finds the duo settling comfortably into the well-honed, ’70s Laurel Canyon-worthy craftsmanship of their other heroes. In short: just another promising track from one of next year’s most anticipated folk records. Watch the pair unveil a cut off their Mike Mogis-produced LP, live from KCRW’s studio, above.
