The Swedish sisters Klara and Johanna Söderberg, who perform as First Aid Kit, were fifteen and seventeen, respectively, when they uploaded a candid cover of Fleet Foxes’ “Tiger Mountain Peasant Song” to YouTube, in 2008. The bashful, stunning performance won the teen-agers international recognition, and they have since developed as songwriters in their own right, delivering heartfelt country and folk numbers with ravishing harmonies. Their third album, “Stay Gold,” recorded late last year with members of the Omaha Symphony Orchestra, is the duo’s most mature and opulent work to date. First Aid Kit plays Central Park’s SummerStage on July 27, sharing the bill with the poppy L.A. folk-rock act Dawes. p h oto g r a p h by l a e r k e p os s e lt
